The MIAME environment contains full function key support, but these will only be usable within the editor if the appropriate function key translation files exist in account DSK0:[7,0]. These are files with the same name as defined for your terminal in the TRMDEF line of miame.ini, and extension .vux. pctdv.vux and pctdvg.vux are supplied with A-Shell/Windows, either of which may be copied or renamed if your A-Shell/Windows terminal driver is going by a different name. Under A-Shell/UNIX, there are several available terminal drivers (am62a, am62c, am65, am75, wyse50, etc.), each of which needs its own vux file.

The FIXTRN utility may be used to create, query or edit function key translation tables.

Under UNIX, the line terminator is a single \n, or LF character. Under AMOS and Windows, a CR-LF character pair is used. VUE is the only A-Shell module which under UNIX will automatically convert from the either format and will always save files in the current native format.
