I think that some of the "special keys" don't work correctly on the RT's.
The first time you'll need a special key is when you attempt to run
the tutorial.

================================================================

                      USING 20/20'S ON-LINE TUTORIALS   

  20/20 provides a series of on-line tutorials, designed to teach you
  its basic concepts and techniques.  To start the tutorials from 
  within 20/20, make sure the Ready: prompt is displayed in the upper 
  left corner of your screen.  Then, press:

                   <DO>

  20/20 prompts:   DO Command File:

  You type:        /usr/2020/tutor/begin<CR>

  For the location of the <CR> and <DO> keys on your terminal, select:
  1. 20/20's Special Keys.

As far as I can tell, NO key will perform "DO", "CONT", "BKO" or "PAGE". You
can get help by doing /h, but the analogy doesn't hold for "DO",
"CONT", "BKO" or "PAGE". 

Actually, even if you could get the "DO" function, you probably still
couldn't run the tutorial, as "/usr/2020/tutor" doesn't exist.

fountain /mit/carla :-) ls -lg /usr/2020/tutor   
/usr/2020/tutor not found
fountain /mit/carla :-) 


(Also, in reference to my last report, it does matter that I was on an
RT, since the vax version of 2020 is on the RVD)


                   Thanks!

                     Carla
