I'm having trouble getting the function keys to register across my ssh connections. I *think* there was no problem when I was using an earlier version of Absolute Telnet. (I'm a two-time paid user.) Do you know of any way to change this, or test it? Part of the trouble is that unix shell commands don't use the function keys at all, so it's difficult to test whether they are coming through...
Thanks,
-Ben Wheeler

Okay, I seem to have fixed the problem. The problem seems to have had nothing at all to do with Absolute Telnet; but as I don't understand what fixed it, I can't be sure! I installed Microsoft IntelliPoint keyboard software (in hopes that this would make the fn keys register), found it to be a piece of crap (shocker there), and uninstalled it... bang, now my function key emacs shortcuts work remotely, in the same, still-open Absolute windows! As always, thanks for a great product Brian!
