RE: [Info-ingres] Problems while using ingres form based commands

Hi Ajay,

In point 1. you say the numpad keys are NOT mapped but they are mapped in
PuTTy. Which emulator are you using that does not work? Most emulators have
an option for the vt100 function keys which you need to turn on.

If you are using the standard windows cmd screen then you need to stick to
using TERM_INGRES=IBMPC. The keys then map to the normal PC keyboard
function keys.

On a Laptop you can still use vt100f with PuTTy without any special
mappings. The numeric key pad is accessed using the Fn key and the
corresponding alphanumeric key. These keys usually have the key pad number
on the key in the same color as the Fn key which is usually

M=0
J=1
K=2
L=3
U=4
I=5
O=6
7=7
8=8
9=9

The F2-F4 keys that are also used in vt100 will map to the PC keyboard F2-F4
keys. Make sure you in the settings you have set vt100+ on in Keyboard ->
'The function keys and keypad'

Subject: [Info-ingres] Problems while using ingres form based commands

I am facing problems while using ingres form based commands.
I have tried following things.

1. I have set "TERM_INGRES" to "vt100f".
But the problem in this case is numpad keys are not mapped, so I
am not been able to use
corresponding options requiring numpad keys.
But when I am accessing the serever on which ingres database
resides from "putty", it works
fine.
2. I have set "TERM_INGRES" to "vt220" and "TERM" to "xterm"
In this case, it is not finding any key mappings such as F13 to
F20 Keys. So beacuse of this I
am not been able to use those command options.

Another problem is since Laptop does not have the numpad, i will have
to map all the respective key options corresponding to numpad to left
side keys on the keyboad.
Since it is not getting respective key mappings, so I request if any
one is having solution on this,please do let me know.

Regards,
- Ajay
