Hi folks,
I am using curses on an HP apollo 700. I was hoping somebody
could point me in the right direction with a problem I am having.
Thanks in advance,
Simon Logan
curses.h defines the following keys
#define KEY_NPAGE 0522
#define KEY_PPAGE 0523
#define KEY_F0 0410
#define KEY_F(n) (KEY_F0+(n))
when I type 'Page UP' or 'Page Dn' or function keys, I just get ^[6~ appearing
in the window (but the cursor keys work ok). I have used
keypad(stdscr, TRUE);
Also,
to access colour you have to send an escape sequence. The terminal control
user's guide says send a sequence like
EC&v n S
I assume 'EC' is 'escape character'
I have tried putting in 0x1b, and 'EC' and '^[' and typeing ESC in VED and
none of these work.
Any ideas?
