Patch for SmarTerm Essential & Office 11.0.1
FEB 24, 2003
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Product: SmarTerm Essential & SmarTerm Office
Version: 11.0.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description of the problem:
A host application that uses a VT420 sequence which was not implemented in 
SmarTerm.  The sequence (DECSMKR - Select Modifier Key Reporting) changes the
functionality of the Left & Right Shift, Compose, and Alt keys, as well as the Caps
Lock and CTRL keys.  

To set the key states, the customer's applications is sending these two sequences:

<ESC>[1;2;2;2;3;3;5;3;6;3;7;3;8;3+r
LSHIFT & RSHIFT - REPORT
LOCK SHIFT - DISABLED
CTRL - UNMODIFIED
LALT & RALT - DISABLED
LCOMPOSE & RCOMPOSE - DISABLED

<ESC>[1;0;2;0;3;0;4;0;5;0;6;0;7;0;8;0+r
LSHIFT & RSHIFT - DEFAULT FUNCTIONALITY
LOCK SHIFT - DEFAULT FUNCTIONALITY
CTRL - DEFAULT FUNCTIONALITY
LALT & RALT - DEFAULT FUNCTIONALITY
LCOMPOSE & RCOMPOSE - DEFAULT FUNCTIONALITY

To enable this functionality,  add a line to the
[DEC] section of the session [xxx.STW] file  (Case Sensitive):
"TurnOnExtendKeyReport=1"

Due to the mutli-tasking environment of Windows, and the low volume of customers 
requesting this functionality, this patch enables the DECSMKR functionality with
the following limitations.

- Only states used in above sequences are implemented
- Alt keys, by default, are not disabled but are used to task switch in windows.
- Functionality is only enabled for physical keyboard, and not virtual keyboard.
- Due to key reporting issues in Win98, and WinME, this patch only
  works in Win2K, and WinXP.
