Caret Translation 1

I believe what I'm trying to do is caret translation... But I have a problem...
The system I'm using requires you to press F10 to execute a search. So I wrote a script that is supposed to do that, and it does on Procomm Plus 32, we recently got a new computer that has Procomm Plus 4.8 installed on it. The script no longer works, it transmits all of the query, but does not transmit the F10 execute command. I've tried recording the script to see if that would help, or even if I could just get to the correct point and have the script ONLY transmit F10, but still to no avail.

The command used to be:
Code:
transmit "^[[21~"
But this is the part that does not work, and the odd part about it is: if I do the command manually, it works, I can enter the query data, and execute it, but if I record those same actions, it does not work.

Other things I've tried:
Copying the Connection Directory over to the new computer... Nothing
Copying the .WAX file over... Nothing

I'm at a loss. Does anyone have any ideas why this would be? Or what they changed about the translation in 4.8?

Add the keyword "RAW" at the end of the transmit command. The tilde is used by Procomm to signify a pause, which is keeping the full escape sequence from being sent to the remote system.
