Transmitting F keys

I have a script where I can
transmit "^[[23~" (F11 key)
in Procom on Windows 2000
but the same version of Procom
will not execute transmit "^[[23~"
on a PC running Windows XP.

The rest of the script works fine.

Any ideas why or how to fix this ?
 
I had a similar problem with the F5 key. I resolved by using sendvkey. You should be able to use (sendvkey 0x7A) which is the Windows virtual (hex) equivalent of F11.
 
This is likely due to Procomm using the tilde as a pause character in transmit statements. If you use:

transmit "^[[23~" RAW

that will likely take care of the problem.


 
I know in my case an F5 key ( ^[[21~ ) would not work as a meta key but does work in regular keyboard mode. sendvkey 0x74 solved my problem.
