whenever I use F5 to return to the command line, the full screen goes
black for an instant. Then it returns.
Jon, never heard of such a thing before. The first thing to do is to find
out what's coming off your F5 key. Look in your .KBD file and see what's
after the first
63= that you find. It should be:
63=Q5BCThe Q5 part is for the spell-checker (IIRC). The BC is the
Blank-the-Command-line part.
If that's what you do have, try experimenting, separately with each of these
63=BC
63=GH
63=CCThese are alternate ways of getting to the command line (though only BC
will go there AND erase it).
These steps should isolate the problem, anyway.
I assume you know that after saving the changed .KBD file, you have to command:
ldkbd .kbd
To make sure it "takes" you can use IDKEY.PM, which is attached. Just RUN
it from the Xy command line, then hit F5.
