et, consider upgrading! You can get the later versions from NCSA's ftp site. If for some reason you're stuck with v2.5 or v 2.6, you can fake it out by redefining some keys to send the codes that GCG expects for the arrow keys, using the Macro feature of NCSA Telnet. For example, you can define the numeric keypad keys to correspond to the normal cursor key codes. Under the 'Edit' menu, select 'Set Macros'. Then define:

(AppleKey)2 to be \033OB   
(AppleKey)4 to be \033OD   
(AppleKey)6 to be \033OC
(AppleKey)8 to be \033OA

[Note in the above codes the first 0 is the number zero and the second is uppercase "o". And yes, you need the backslash.] To save these settings use the "Save Set" option under the "FILE" menu.....this will provide an icon which, when clicked on, will open a session with all your previously defined settings, including macros. Now, to type an up-arrow, you would type 'Apple-2', and for a left-arrow you would type 'Apple-4' etc. Use the numeric keypad on the right of your keyboard, not the number keys that are above your alphabet on the keyboard.

PC running NCSA Telnet

Try redefining the keys to send the codes that GCG expects for the arrow keys. In NCSA Telnet, under the "EDIT" menu, select "Set Macros". You may be able to define something like

        (Alt key) 2     \033OB
        (Alt key) 4     \033OD
        (Alt key) 6     \033OC
        (Alt key) 8     \033OA

(in the above codes the first 0 is the number zero, and the second is uppercase "o") You would then save these settings using the "Save Set" option under the FILE menu. Then, to use the cursor keys, you use "Alt"+numeric keypad 2, or Alt+numeric keypad 8 etc.

Unix machine

The keyboard has two sets of arrow keys -- one set immediately to the right of the letter keys and one set on the numeric keypad. If one set doesn't work, try the other.

Delete and backspace keys don't work in Seqed.

This problem has been seen with all machines, and simply involves setting up the terminal emulator options correctly. GCG accepts only the code for the Delete key, whereas Unix accepts either. If you modify your terminal emulator settings and the
