[Tfug] Silly virtual terminal keys SOLVED

[Mike Morrell]

  So funny, I typed a nice long email to you about everything I tried. I 
was about to hit send when I thought... "hmm maybe F7 is not working" 
Bingo, F7 no worky! This keyboard had another set of Function keys so I 
used the other F7 and "tada" I see X.
