VT100 or VT320 may note that these terminals/emulators may produce the same character for TAB and
shift-TAB. As such, it is impossible for an application to distinguish between the two and both of them are
treated as if the TA B key was pressed. This presents an inconvenience to users if they want to go back-
ward. In most cases, they should complete rest of the input fields and get back to the desired field later.
VT100 Terminal Support
VT100 does not allow the F1−F8 function keys to be configured. Therefore, the following keyboard map-
pings apply to VT100 terminals:
HP or Wyse60 VT100 or HP 700/60 in VT100 mode
F1 PF2 (1)
F2 PF1 (1)
F3 spacebar
F4 PF3, spacebar or PF3, = (1)
F5 Return
F6 none
F7 none
F8 none
(1) See the "Configuration: HP 700/60 in DEC mode, or DEC terminals with PC-AT-type key-
board" subsection below.
See the comments on softkeys and TAB keys in the "VT320 Terminal Support" subsection above.
Configuration: HP 700/60 Terminal in DEC Mode, or DEC Terminal with PC-AT-Type Keyboard
Customers using the following configuration may want to be aware of the following keyboard difference.
It may be possible for a user with the "HP 700/60 terminal in DEC mode, or DEC terminal with PC-AT-type
keyboard" configuration to be told to press function key F1 through F4 to achieve some desired result. For
an HP 700/60 terminal in DEC mode or DEC terminals, these functions keys may be mapped onto
PF1−PF4 keys. However, the PC-AT-type keyboard does not provide PF1−PF4 keys, as does the
DEC/ANSI keyboard.

These keys are above the number pad on the right side of the keyboard. Please note that although this
keyboard is called a PC AT-type keyboard, it is supplied by HP. A PC AT-type keyboard can be recognized
by location of Esc key at the left-top of the keyboard.
Wyse60 Terminal Support
On Wyse60, use the DEL key (located next to Backspace) to backspace. On an HP 700/60 with a PC AT-
type keyboard in Wyse60 mode, the DEL key is located in the bottom row on the number pad.
Wyse60 terminals provide a single line to display softkey labels unlike HP terminals which provide two
lines. Sometimes this may result in truncated softkey labels. For example, the
Help on Context label
for F1 may appear as Help on C. Some standard labels for screen-oriented applications, such as SAM
and swinstall are as follows:
The SAM label: May appear on the Wyse60 as:
Help On Context Help On C
Select/Deselect Select/D
Menubar on/off Menubar
DEPENDENCIES
SAM runs in an X Window environment as well as on the following kinds of terminals or terminal emula-
tors:
• HP-compatible terminal with programmable function keys and on-screen display of function key
labels.
• VT-100 and VT-320
