Hi and thank you for responding.......

I actually resolved the F7 issue.

F5 has now become my problem. Ethereal is telling me that on my ibm3151 system when F5 was hit it sent this information....

00000000  1b 65 0d                                         .e.

(no wrap though)

I am trying to take that information and interpret in a custom app I am building that uses vt320_7 emulation to tell it to mimic the F5 that is being sent.

So far I have not had any luck. The best I could interpreted it was

Chr(27) & Chr(101) & Chr(13) but all that did was send the letter "e" and the enter key.

Might you have ideas on how I might go about this?
