IBM M71V2 manual

The Map Ins as dash function allows for a quick way to insert a dash character (-) instead of the rarely used [Ins] key function. This is useful for quickly typing part numbers that include the dash character (e.g. 123-456-789).

The F5: function tells the M71V2 what character string to send back to the host when the F5 key is pressed. Some host systems want this to be “esc0t” and some systems expect the “esc[15˜” or “esc[16˜” string. Use the right and left arrow keys to make the selection.

The ANSI Colors function allows the terminal to better interpret ANSI color commands and translate them into the grayscale screen on the M71V2. This function is typically checked when using a Windows based server like “Windows Terminal Server”.
