Thanks.  Dave Kallman also pointed this out to me.  Since my NMMGR was still
configured for PC-based management, I wasn't being presented that function
key as an option.  Turning off (N) the flag for "Are you using OpenView DTC
Manager?"  Revealed the magic key.

Thanks also for that pointer.  I was pleased to find that this manual is
indeed on the LaserROM, too.

As soon as I can get my configurations synchronized, we will be dumping
DTCMGR for good.  Wheeee!!!  ;>  Thanks also to HP for simplifying my life a
little bit.  I mean, sure, NMMGR is still a beast of a program with
mind-numbing layers upon layers of screens, but at least now I don't have to
rely on a flaky PC program to keep my DTC's in line.  And I can go back to
using TERMDSM so I won't have to run to the PC in the machine room any more
just to do a port reset.
