To activate VT100 emulation mode and turn on full screen mode under NOS, use the command:
SCREEN,VT100.
To return to line mode, use the command:
LINE,VT100.
All function keys are generated using the (emulated) VT100 keypad, and all function keys must be followed by RETURN on the main keyboard to get processed. After typing a function key, spurious characters will show up on the display until the RETURN key has been processed. Typing a shifted function key actually means typing a different key (SF1 to SF9 instead of F1 to F9) on the VT100 keypad. To activate a function keys several times in a row, type that key the desired number of times before pressing RETURN.

Note: actual mapping of the keys between PC keypad and VT100 keypad depends on the emulation being used. In particular, mapping of VT100 keypad keys "-" and "," varies between different emulations as these keys share a single key on the PC keypad.
