Appendix A UNIX Key Usage Chart
Most UNIX terminals do not send a sequence when the Alt or Ctrl key is
pressed. This means that there is no way for PROD to detect these keys,
so instead you should use /a for Alt and /c for Ctrl. This appendix
lists alternatives for other keys that may also be undetectable on your
specific UNIX terminal.
It also tells you how to select soft or hard operation for the Alt and
Ctrl keys. With soft operation, the Alt or Ctrl key is automatically
turned off after the next keystroke. This means that whenever you want a
function from the Alt menu you must hold down Alt again to get the Alt
menu displayed; and similarly with Ctrl.
With hard operation, the Alt and Ctrl keys work in a similar way to the
Caps Lock key, in that having been pressed, they remain in effect until
pressed again.
For information on configuring your keyboard, see the chapter Keyboard
Configuration Utility in your COBOL Operating Guide.
