Keyboard Configuration
2) Although the alphanumeric area of the keyboard may appear to function, the
keypad, function keys and centre key cluster will not operate correctly, giving
unpredictable results.
Note: The LK250 keyboard for the PC is designed to operate in 2
modes. Mode 1 emulates an AT keyboard, and Mode 2
emulates a VT320 keyboard. The keyboard is switched
between Mode 1 and Mode 2 using Alt + F17. Mode 1 is
indicated as being active by the ‘SPECIAL’ LED on the top
right hand side of the keyboard. TeemTalk requires the
keyboard to be in Mode 2 (VT320). Mode 1 disables certain
function keys.
Keyboard Nationality
When running TeemTalk for Windows 3.1x, the factory default keyboard nationality
is determined by the Keyboard Layout setting in the International dialog box within
the Microsoft Windows Control Panel. You can specify a different nationality while
TeemTalk is running and save it so that it is reassserted each time TeemTalk is loaded
or reset. When you exit TeemTalk the keyboard nationality will revert back to that
specified in the International dialog box.
When running TeemTalk for Windows 95 or NT, the factory default keyboard
nationality is determined by the system locale setting. You can specify a different
nationality while TeemTalk is running and save it so that it is reassserted each time
TeemTalk is loaded or reset. When you exit TeemTalk the keyboard nationality will
revert back to that specified in the locale.

selecting Settings in the menu bar then Terminal...

cluster of four cursor keys.
