MacTerminal and VT100

It is possible for MacTerminal to change into application keypad mode without using MacroMaker. Since MacTerminal acts as a VT100 terminal, it will respond to VT100 escape sequences sent to it from a host computer.
To get MacTerminal to send application commands with the keypad, all you need to do is have the host system send <escape>=, where <escape> is the escape character. Likewise, to get MacTerminal to return to normal mode, send <escape>> (escape greater than) from the host to MacTerminal.
