so i'm working on a covert project to replace all the win9x stations here at work with rh7. all that is needed is just a terminal emulator to connect to our production server. no problem there, in fact i've got one console only station in use.
the problem is that for the programs we run on the server the function keys need to produce a specific string. this was easy in the console (via loadkeys), but i can't get it don't with any x terminals. xmodmaps only lets me change keysyms, not substitute a string, and no terminal programs want to make this easy (man files were of little help to me in this). and those that do don't have other functions i need.
i've been working on this for a week now, and i'mn starting to (gasp) lose faith.
here's what i need:
-map functions keys to produce strings
-left mouse highlight=copy, right mouse click=paste
-simple telnet scripting (expect works for this though)
any ideas? kterm works well for all but hte keymapping i need, and xterm won't handle the mouse stuff.
