I am having similar problems.  I've looked in every last scrap of documentation
I could get my hands on, and I can't find anything.  If anyone out there
knows how to map commands to the function keys on a sun keyboard I'd love
to hear from you!  I'm beginning to think it's hopeless!

Thanx in advance!

Hmmm, let me see.  I suspect that you want to define keys within, say, a
command or shell tool right?  Well, if that is the case then you should
look at loadkeys(1).  In a nutshell, one may define keys to send a
sequence of characters to the standard output thus:

+== vtkeypad ===================================+
| key 45   base "^[OP"                          |
| key 46   base "^[OQ"                          |
| key 47   base "^[OR"                          |
| key 68   base "^[Ow" shift 7                  |
| key 69   base "^[Ox" shift string+uparrow     |
| key 70   base "^[Oy" shift 9                  |
| key 71   base "^[OS"                          |
| key 91   base "^[Oz" shift string+leftarrow   |
| key 93   base "^[Ov" shift string+rightarrow  |
| key 113  base "^[Or" shift string+downarrow   |
+===============================================+

Assume you have a file like the one shown above.  You may redefine your
keyboards right keypad by using the command "loadkeys vtkeypad".  Of
course you can substitute any string for those shown above.

I believe one may find a list of all the key numbers in the files
/usr/share/lib/keytables/layout_??

Good luck!

Is there any way to specify such a key binding in any of the resource files?

I dunno if this will help, but I had a similar problem, and was given the
simple (if not particularly intuitive) solution: if you want to re-scan
the directory of the currently selected drive/dir (whether it's A:, B:,
C: or whatever), just press F5.  This is especially nice for floppies,
but is useful if you've just done some file/dir moves.

Hello, All:
I am using Windows 3.1 as an integrated programming environment
for a microcontroller. The MCU board communicates with the PC
through COM1. At one time I was able to use Kermit for DOS in its
own window along with a DOS command window. I would edit 
in Windows Write (not very good for programming), compile
in the DOS command, then see the results in my Kermit window - beautiful!

This is how I download to the MCU:
(Kermit is set for COM1)

1. In Kermit window, the MCU is put into load mode (it remains in Kermit)
2. In the Dos window, I type
	type myprog.s19 > com1

That used to work OK. One time I got a contention error message
from Windows for COM1, but I ignored it and eventually the problem
just vanished.  Then I noticed that line #2 above suddenly stopped
working after I run Procomm (set for COM3) in the DOS command window.
I would reset, restart Windows, and everything is fine again.

But today it won't do it at all. I still get a good DOS command window
and the Kermit window still talks to the MCU. But the DOS command
window can't talk to COM1 at all. I haven't changed any setting in
Windows throughout the whole time.

Does anyone have any ideas why this could be happenning?

thanks

I just purchased WINFAX PRO 3.0.  I have a 9624BS Superlink Fax/Modem.
It is set on COM2.  My problem is that when I send a fax sometimes it
goes sometimes it doesnt.  I fax to a friend alot that has a answer
machine and during the initial message you have to push the send
button on my fax machine for his fax machine to recgonize that it is a
fax. But with WINFAX without a SEND button to push sometimes it picks it
up but most of the time it doesnot.  How can I make WINFAX work with a
setup like that? I listen to the fax through the computer and when it
starts to dial it starts sending out pulses that sounds like it is
trying to tell that it is a fax but it usually stops before the
connection is made.  I also fax to another place that has a Cannon
FaxPhone50 and it sends out a pulse like signal when the connection is
made.  But I cannot send a fax through WINFAX to it.  It keeps giving a
message +FING011. Can someone help?  How can I make it work?

Instruction pointer.

Can anybody give me a hint, why it works sometime and then breaks down ?
I've already tried to save the files:  autoexec.bat
					config.sys
					/windows/*.ini
to a disk. After the breakdown I restored them to the harddisk with no success. 
By the way after installing Windows I also installed Excel 3.0 successful.
Perhaps this might cause any problems !?

                    Interim Report (Not Solution Summary)
                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

        I haven't found the answer to this problem yet, in spite of the 
excellent help I have been getting from you netters. I didn't want anyone 
to think I was ungrateful, so many sincere thanks from the heart of my 
bottom to everyone who took the time out to reply to my post ; and 
here's a summary of the stuff I've tried so far.

1).     Remove "lastdrive=" statement from the config.sys.
        
        If I do this the PC won't attach to the network. Maybe this
        would work for Novell, but for PC-NFS it's a no-no.


2).     Set "lastdrive=" to the letter that is before the drives the
        network need to work.

        Again, the PC fails to mount the network.


3).     Remove any "subst" drives.

        None are set up.


4).     Load the network drivers ahead of windows.

        I do.


5).     Do you run Win 3.1 rather than 3.0 ?

        Yes.


6).     Is file manager or an application trying to read the j: drive     
        on Windows launch?

        No.


7).     Set up Win31 for PC-NFS : special TSRs & tell Windows 
        'there is no network'.

        I am using the standard setup for windows & PC-NFS which
        works on 100's of PCs on campus every day. {But not this 
        one *sob* :( } It does include theose TSRs & Windows is set
        up for 'no network'.

Thats most of it. Finally, I have reinstalled Windows, and reinstalled the     
network connection software, and no joy. I even tried running the network 
version of windows, rather than this guy's local version, and that 
displayed the same symptoms. The network version is definately set up OK,
so I am beginning to believe the problem is not with Windows.

I think I'll check out the PC-NFS newsgroups, and see if anyone there 
can suggest anything else.

A big thanks once again to all who replied. As a guy posted to me the 
other day: "What a pleasure to work in a community where people
help each other, like here on the Internet."

Can anyone suggest an "audit" or "time-tracking" program for
Windows 3.1?  Probably a TSR.  Users would have to enter their 
names before gaining access.  They could give themselves a
password.  The administrator could later determine what programs
were used by what users at what times.

Ideally as part of the same program, users must be able to 
leave messages for other users on the same machine.  Upon entering 
their name, they'd be alerted to any messages left for them.  If 
this requires a separate utility, so be it.

We're East Wind, an intentional community of 50 in Missouri.
We don't have a LAN (yet), but we have five Windows machines.  We
want to be legal, so cost is important.  $50/machine tops,
hopefully.  Shareware great.

Direct E-mail response would be greatly appreciated.
