[Info-vax] 2 questions, 1st regarding setting up keyboard 2nd. dcl programming

[acid.friend at yahoo.de]

hi everybody out there,
i have a microvax 3100-95 and it gives me a lot of pleasure.
unfortunately, when i access my vax remote (gnome-terminal->jerm->COM1-
>OPA0:), the keyboard does not work as it should, so i'm having
massive issues when i need to edit files and when i don't want to use
my vt220.
i use a german keyboard. see below what happens when i hit backspace.
but when i login it seems to work on dcl, but when i use edi/tpu i
think something
is misconfigured.

besides i have a problem when i use long commands and when i need to
correct some options which i've typed before.
when i go to that position and start writing, the next characters get
overwritten.

2. i would like to write a dcl driven menu that should work like this:



 INPUT1: __________
 INPUT2: __________

$ typ samplemenu.com
$ typ/pag nl:
$ write sys$output ""
$ write sys$output ""
$ write sys$output " INPUT1: __________"
$ write sys$output " INPUT2: __________"
$ write sys$output ""
$ exit
$

BUT of course the cursor has to be positioned in the INPUT1 field.
when i write something, the underlines should remain there. how do i
do that? is this easy?
hope you know what i mean :)
