I've got shifted-F-keys working with ATE but cannot seem to get them working in Zterm. When I've enabled Shift-F1, I get the word "Hello" when I hit Shift-F1. ??

mad My bad... I needed to run FIXTRN IFX for all the shifted-Fkeys. Guess it had never been done on this server.

That "hello" for Shift-F1 was inserted as a test/demo and never removed. But far from indicating a problem, in indicates the proper functioning of the .IFX table. To modify it, use the FIXTRN command:

Code
.FIXTRN
Editing function key translation file: LIB:AM62A.IFX    
Enter delimiter key (cannot be used in a translation): \
                       
Hit a function key (or special delimiter to exit): [183]
   Current Translation: hello
   Update? [y/N] y
   Enter new translation (end with delimter): ^G^Q
  
In the example above, I was using the AM62A emulation, so FIXTRN selected the LIB:AM62A.IFX translation table. At the Hit a function key prompt, I hit Shift-F1, which echoed as [183]. (Any value between [129] and [254] can be treated like a function key; otherwise it will report that the key is not translatable.)

It then reports the current translation (Hello) and gives the option to change it. I entered Y and changed the translation to Control-G Control-Q (echoes as ^G^Q) which should return EXITCODE -17.
