Unfortunately, unlike the :CONSOLE : to virtual terminal, this is much more difficult for CSL-type solutions. : : But, I did have a solution working back in 4.0 / 4.5 days, but it took a lot : of reverse engineering and labor. Basically, there is no substantial : reason to prevent you from saying "please arm control-Y for ldev n", [...snip...] I gave-up and developed a technique about 12 years ago whereby a batch process with multiple terminals opened could arm Control-Y on each and then detect which terminal generated an interrupt and handle accordingly. At one time I was going to contribute the routines to the CSL but decided against it because it was fairly OS-version dependent and I never got around to cleaning up the code to deal with the dependency, especially between MPE-IV and MPE-V. I know it wouldn't port to MPE/iX systems due to lots of reasons, but if you'd like to see it, E-Mail me and I'll try to locate the code listing... (I think it's in a box of listings of old, handy routines in my attic at home, along with some MPE-III source code listing in my attic...I'm a packrat by nature...! Certainly Stan's example is more current! I'll certainly stand-up along with Stan and support an HP provided solution. If needed, I can provide several business cases in support of this enhancement cause we're still doing it today, but minus the interrupt feature! -- Jerry
