Latest update, taking bits and pieces from folks comments...
I started Terminal and set the terminal variable to VT100 then started a
new bash:
TERM=vt100 exec bash
started the rt-11 simulation
pdp11 boot.ini
then tried ked somefile
I was able to use fn-F1 as the Gold Key, but I couldn't figure out how
to get Command. I then hooked up a regular mac keyboard to the laptop
(it has a numeric keypad) and was able to get both fn-F1 and numeric
keypad 7 to work as GOLD-COMMAND. This was encouraging. I went back to
the laptop keyboard and was able to use fn-F1 as GOLD and then ESC-O-w
as command, remembering y'alls advice. This was workable, but not ideal.
So, I took a look at the keyboard tab in Terminal preferences and was
able to assign ESC-o-w to a key and voila, rational keyboard :).
Thanks for all of the tips and pointers. I am pretty pleased with the
way things are working now and have a much greater level of
understanding of how to figure these sorts of issues out going forward.
I am glad that it works with a regular terminal because copy and paste
and such in the host is much simpler than with xterm or another emulator.
Regards,
Will
