How to make numeric keypad work ?

[Renaat Dumon]

Hi,

I'm running HP-UX 10.20 on a HP9000. The box is a server sitting in a rack, and I access it using SSH. My SSH-client is SecureCRT. And my keyboard is a Belgian (dutch) one.

When I log on, I seem to have the shell variable TERM=vt100 . However, I can't use the numeric keypad as well as characters such as @,?,a,t on the commandline.

Doing '# read TEXT' and then typing the characters works perfectly for @,?,t,a but not for the numeric keypad!

How do I tackle this problem, it's very annoying !

Thanks

what happens if you run tput smkx, does the numeric keyboard start OK now ?

also is the behaviour the same if you carry out a hard reset as descibed in the "cariage return in system console" posting on this page ?

Thanks Alex,

this did the trick ! After having disconnected and reconnected things worked fine...

Kind regards,
