Re: Escape key problem

Hi Javier,
	I think this is related to the fact that the escape key is used to indicate 
the start of a special key sequence(F1,F2 etc) in VT* terminals. I think you 
can prove this by pressing the ESC key twice in quick succession; it should 
only send one ESC to the application. Earlier, around dosemu 1.2.2, I did once 
modify both the terminal program(putty) and dosemu to use the F20 escape 
sequence to generate ESC. This is fine as a one off, but could never be put 
into the core dosemu.

Best regards,

Andrew
