I'm having difficulty with the 'Enter' key on the numeric keyboard
insisting on being 'Field Plus'. I've remapped it and it shows up in the
keyboard map as Enter, but it functions like Field Plus/Exit. Any help
would be greatly appreciated, this is VERY annoying!

Thank you,
Jan

Hi JAN

I assume you are using Client Access, if so...

1. Start the emulation and click on the Customise Keyboard key
2. Click on the keypad 'enter' key to highlight it.
3. Click on the arrow next to 'Base'
4. Select Enter from the function list
5. Click on the arrow next to 'Base' again
6. Click on the Change Key button

Now repeat steps 2 to 6, but click on the arrow next to 'Shift'

7. Exit and save the keyboard map.
8. Select Keyboard setup from the Assist menu
9. Select 'User-Defined' as the current keyboard
10. Use the Browse button to find the .KMP file you juse created.

It's a bit long winded, but it's the only way I could get the keypad 'enter'
key to work. It's important that you change the action for both Base and
Shift. I assume this is a bug with CA.

Where??? I've looked several times. IBM's new site is very hard to use,
perhaps my profile is hiding it from me. Could you give an address?

Thanks!

AFAIK you have to map both the 'normal' and shifted function of the
key to Enter, then it'll work
