UNKNOWN FUNCTION (i.e. ^^ = code 30, decimal) ^H backspace (nondestructive, same as cursor left) ^J newline ^M carriage return (move cursor to column 0) ^T destructive tab keycodes sent ^H backspace ^T tab ^M return ^_ arrow down ^^ arrow up ^] arrow left ^\ arrow right To use the WP-2 with a UN*X system, make sure XON/XOFF flow control is set ON on the WP-2, and use the following termcap entry: # Joe Touch 10/14/90 Entry for Radio Shack WP-2 # cursor motion commands derived by experiments # jo|wp2|wp-2|Radio Shack WP-2:co#80:li#8:am:bs:\ :nd=\EC:ho=\EH:do=\EB:up=\EA:\ :cm=\EY%.%.:cd=\EJ:ce=\EK:cl=\EH\EJ:\ :kd=^_:kl=^]:kr=^\:ku=^^:\ :xo:pt:xt: *** If you found this useful, please send me some e-mail and let me know.
