Compaq t1000 - Terminal Thin Client PC Manual page 75

The Predefined Macros box enables you to select from a list of standard functions associ-
ated with the current terminal emulation. Clicking the arrow button displays a list box in
which the names of valid key functions (called virtual key names) are shown.
Note that a virtual key name is sent across a network as a single packet, whereas an escape
sequence is split into several packets. If a required function has a virtual key name equiva-
lent, use this instead of the escape sequence.
A key definition may be issued locally or transmitted to the host when the key or key com-
bination is pressed. This is determined by the setting of the Local check box.
When unchecked the definition is transmitted to the host.
The Current Macro Definitions box displays the key and key combinations that are cur-
rently defined. You can remove the selected definition or delete all the definitions by tap-
ping the relevant Remove button.
1. Click in the Program Key box then press the key or key combination to define. The
current definition displays.
2. Click in the With box then enter the new definition, or make a selection from the list
of Predefined Macros then click Apply.
3. Check the Local check box to make the key definition action locally, or uncheck it to
transmit the definition to the host when the key or key combination is pressed.
4. Click the Add button to accept the definition. The new definition is added to the Cur-
rent Macro Definitions list.
You can enter a control character either as the control key character equivalent or the dec-
imal value of the ASCII character. For example, the control character for the Return key
function, CR (carriage return), can be entered by typing the characters ^ and M, repre-
senting the keys Ctrl + M which, when pressed together would generate the CR code.
Decimal values are entered as three-digit numbers immediately preceded by an underscore
character. Values with only two digits must be preceded by a zero. For example, the deci-
mal value of CR is 13, so this would be entered as _013.
Refer to the ASCII character table in the
references.
