For each terminal type a help file describing the layout of the function keys on is useful. You will have noticed that this distribution provides the keymaps of only a limited number of terminal types. They are 'vt100', 'vt220', 'sun', 'ncd' and 'PC-NFS' network terminals. For each terminal type a keymap file with the '.key' extension, a help file with the '.hlp' extension and a kermit initialisation file with the '.ini' extension are provided. The help files can be displayed on-line or printed on paper.
Origami needs to know where it can find the keymap files.
You need to recompile the source files only if your machine cannot run executable binary file bundled in this distribution. Finally decide on how origami is to find out the terminal type. In order to introduce another terminal type, if the new terminal keyboard can generate codes similar to the code generated by a supported terminal then a symbolic link would suffice. For example, ln -s vt220.key myterm.key makes the origami to assume that the terminal 'myterm' keyboard generates code sequences compatible with the codes defined in the file 'vt220.key'. Note that this does not require that all the code sequences on the 'myterm' keyboard are generated when pressing exactly the similar keys as on the 'vt220' keyboard.
