Unfortunately, the default (xterm color) is not likely to work on many systems, including most of the UW central systems.

You MUST change this default.

Run Terminal (e.g., from Applications-Utilities) and use Terminal-Preferences to bring up the preferences panel.

From the pop-up list next to Declare terminal type as: select vt102 (or vt100).

For example, if YOUR UW NetID were myuwnetID and you wanted to connect to homer, youd enter ssh myuwnetIDhomer.u.washington.edu.

If you have used your UW NetID as your OS X login ID then the ID can be omitted.

Using ssh -2 uses v2 of ssh instead of v1, for those hosts that permit (or require) it.

Find some examples here in the same folder with this document, in both runable and editable (-Template) forms.

Double-clicking the Template versions should run the AppleScript Editor to let you modify the script.

Double-click the regular copy (without the -Template name) to run the script.

Probably best in a lab where many people connect to many different hosts.

To use it use the Script Editor to put in your NetID and desired host before use.

You may make it your default profile if you use Terminal mostly (or only) for connections to Keynes, but it is usually not recommended.

The Enter (far right of the keypad) key should now work to send screens in Keynes apps.

Note that having the setting in Terminal for strict vt100 keypad behavior on is the essential setting for this.

Note that if using the keypad for numeric entry is STRICTLY required, you may be able to get that working by turning the strict behavior off and entering the Enter keystroke with control J.

Printing that works via ansi print escape (much of the student data base system) will NOT work correctly though the screens CAN be captured (and then printed) using the Grab utility.

There are reports that the old MacSSH program (run under Classic) in OS X DOES work with newer versions of OS X (10.2.6 10.4.x).

This may be a better solution for Keynes users, however since Classic is not supported on Macs using Intel hardware or with system 10.5 and above, it isnt going to work in those cases.

Printing, after setting up a default printer WITHIN Classic, should also work using MacSSH.

You can also (perhaps too easily) make these choices effect the DEFAULT setup for Terminal, so use this with some caution.

For example, to make a connection to homer automatically you could put.
