SecureCRT Version 5.0.0 (build 992) - Official Release - June 16, 2005

We're evaluating this for a new unix system going in.

I'm trying to map some (shifted) function keys in VT220 mode.
Using "Send string", I've put in :
CALL "KEYRDR"/r

When I hit the key, I get:
CALL "KEYRDR"/r
not the carriage return mentioned in the help file.

I tried reversing the slash, but despite saving and reload the key map, it kept sending the original line.
No, I don't do VB scripting.

Any ideas?

I would expect that CALL "KEYRDR" \rwould work. The output of this should be that the string CALL "KEYRDR"would be sent followed by a carriage return.

It sounds like you are using a Keymap file to hold your mapped keys. Once you modify the keymap, are you restarting the session as well?

Do you have multiple sessions running either when you make the change, or when you try to use the modified keymap?

Have you tried using the Mapped key functionality in the session options to define the key strokes and give them a value?

Thanks,
