HP-UX (Non)Function Keys

[Jonbickel@aol.com]

All,

Thank you all for your responses to date.  However, I am still in the same situation.
AXTICRS is the correct variable to set, but setting this does not solve the problem.
Per customer support, we are on an unsupported emulator.

For reference, the keys are working properly on the HP3000 (MPE) side.
Not only does the 3k recognize the function keys, it recognizes the escape string
if manually duplicated (i.e. typing <ESC>w<CR> at any prompt is treated as pressing F8).  There is no recognition on the HP-UX side under QUICK or QKGO for either 
the F-keys, or the manual string.  The value of AXTICRS is /opt/cognos/ph823d2/qkgo/resource/tic_hp and TERM is hp2392.

So, is there - by any chance - anyone out there running Minisoft (92)
as their HP terminal emulator and successfully using the default function keys who
could shed any light on the situation?

Also, one person mentioned a QKGO key/read timeout environmental variable - I couldn't
find such a variable, does anyone know the name?

Thanks (as always),

Jon
