Keyboard Mapping
The illustrations on the following pages show where DEC VT500 keyboard functions are mapped to keys on the 101/102 key Enhanced AT keyboard layout. Special key functions that are provided on the DEC VT keyboard can be mapped to any key on your keyboard by using the VT virtual key names listed in the Define Keyboard Macros dialog box.
The keyboard can be used in two modes, Normal and DEC. You can toggle between the two modes by pressing the keys Alt + Num Lock together. The 10th item on the status bar will display DEC when the keyboard is in DEC mode. The field will be blank when in normal mode.
