I think it returns ESC [ A > for the up arrow not on the numeric keypad but that doesn't work. I hope to work on this tonight (now +12 hours); but I admit it has me baffled. ANSI keycode testing was done using xterm to generate the appropriate escape sequences, and also under syscons. In both of these situations, everything works fine, which seems to point to a timing problem with unbuffered serial console input. I have just purchased a VT320 in order to pursue this problem. > Bruce -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] My car has "demand start" -Terry Lambert UNIX: live FreeBSD or die!
