MacTerminal: MacroMaker for Sending Escape Sequences


Some users want to send application commands with the keypad in VT100 mode.
However, when using MTMOD, the keypad sends only the character code for the
number, while showing the correct setting on the screen. For example, when
you press the "9" on the keypad, MacTerminal sends "9" instead of Esc,"O","y".

To send an escape sequence instead of a number use MacroMaker, part of the
recently released System Software 6.0. MacroMaker can send the escape
sequence correctly. You can redefine the "9" on the keypad, because
MacroMaker understands the keypad as a separate set of keys.

Note: MTMOD does not work with later versions of MacTerminal.
