COMPAQ CONFIDENTIAL - NEED TO KNOW REQUIRED
Example: Entering Alt + P
For example, if you needed to enter a command such as Alt + P on the
managed server:
1. Enter the attention key. In this example the attention key is set to its
default: Ctrl+A. Press both the Ctrl and the A keys down
simultaneously. Release both keys, making sure to release the Ctrl key
last.
2. Enter the command to press and hold the Alt key on the managed
server’s keyboard. This command key is X.
3. Press P.
Steps 1 and 2 signal IRC that you wish to compose a key sequence on the
managed server’s keyboard with the Alt key pressed down. Pressing the P key
in step 3 completes your key sequence. IRC generates an Alt+P on the
managed server keyboard.
If you performed steps 1 and 2 above but then decided that you did not want to
continue with the intended command, you could abort the key sequence and
release the Alt key by entering the sequence clear command:
1. Enter the attention key. In this example the attention key is set to its
default: Ctrl+A. Press both the Ctrl and the A keys down
simultaneously. Release both keys, making sure to release the Ctrl key
last.
2. Press Backspace.
The [Atn] Backspace sequence cancels the Alt key flag that was set by
pressing [Atn] X.
