Well, hi, I got a BB curve 8900 but when I run the aplication and then go to the session option, there is nothing!!! nothing apears, My curve uses a 4.6.1 and I download the 1.7.3 midpshh version. But nothing happens, everytime I tried to use the midpssh on the session part nothing shows up… there is no “alias”, “host”, or anything… Please help me finding the problems I dont know what else to do…????

Some experimenting has shown that this 4.x release I have in development *does* work on a 5.x device without any issues. I’ll be posting updates and plans to my blog some time today, at http://marcparadise.com.

@boody – the equivalent with a bit more I hope. Specifically I am trying to make sure *all* special function keys are bindable in user configurable manner to keystrokes/functions/macros (such as volume, mute, convenience keys).

I am currently building it for 4.3 and later – once I have that working, I’ll branch off a 4.7 (with touchscreen) and 5.x series (touchscreen + other new goodies that 5.0 brings). Currently it’s working in a very rudimentary form – that is, I can define settings and sessions, and connect. The custom key mapping is not in, but I’d still say I’m at about 75% complete for a first version.

It’s unfortunate that i need to build for prior to 5.0. That version brings support for custom fonts, which wold provide a much more efficient and easier-to-manage method of displaying the terminal than is currently used. A few other fun toys too… but there are far too many people who are stuck with 4.x (including me) for a while yet.

@marc- VERY excited about the prospect of a better-working midpssh. Are you planning on leaving in the ‘ctrl’ functionality with the sym button- VERY useful and actually I’d stick with the current version if it was removed. Also, are you developing a version that will work in OS 5.x?

Boody- I have found that too, but if you switch to scroll mode in the menu itseems to correct it.

I am working on a completely new interface designed specifically for blackberry – I’ll post a link here once it’s up.

The backpsace key issue seems to have started in the last few weks – I noticed it after I updated to a more recent 4.6 os install on my Bold; I don’t have a build based on the one you have above which corrects this, but the new version I’m building does have this fixed (as awell as quite a few new features that take advantage of the bb platform).
