Attempting to write a macro using WRQ's Reflection software to run a pro-iv screen which requires the user to enter Alt + M to open a window.

Warning - only do this on Character mode systems!

Run the $TERM screen. Look at the TYPE assigned to the TERM-ID "DEFAULT". (This is 99.9% the one you need unless someone is being clever).

Run the $CRT screen. Put this into Lookup mode (or ONLY use Return to move between the fields).

Look on the Second Screen. Against the WINDOW prompt you'll see the string of Hex characters that ProIV will interpret as the user requesting a Window.

Or do you already know that ALT-M is what ProIV is expecting, and you just want to know what character ALT-M is generating?

I found a list of scancodes. I have no idea if they will help:

What Chris said.
Just look at the $CRT terminal type definition in use.
Scancodes are for physical keyboards, I don't see that could have any relevance.
