Doug-

Current versions of Reflection and Minisoft have the ability to make the
standard return=enter when in block mode.  Minisoft is very easy to do,
Reflection is a little more obtuse.  But, I think this option would do what
you want without losing a keyboard key.

Subject: Laptop / Palmtop and the enter key


*Someone* in the County has decided that they are going to use Laptops /
Palmtops which do not have a numeric key pad and hence no enter key.

We all know that the enter key next to the "/', is not truly and enter
key--it is a return key (just kidding, sort of).

This makes it very hard when using a terminal emulator to send things to a
V-Plus generated screen (or does V-Plus have another name these days?).

It's interesting the ScreenJet from Affirm / Milliware has a "smart" option
for this kind of problem--but my management declared that we were *not*
going to use the product.

[It's always interesting that people in positions of power make
technological decisions in areas about which they know nothing--nothing new,
but interesting nonetheless.]

My suggestion for a temporary workaround is to have Reflection remap the
keys so the "enter" key is something like "scroll lock"--and that's such a
handy key to reach for!

Has anyone else had any experience with this, and if so, what did you do?
