I am trying to TELNET to an IBM mainframe with a terminal program that
is (as far as I can tell) completely VT100 compatible. I am using a program
called TN3270 which is supposed to tell the IBM what codes to send and what
keys to use so I can emulate a 3270 terminal. The problem is the IBM says it
has no keymap for a VT100 and when the screen fills with information the IBM
puts "MORE .." in the lower right corner of the screen and I cannot go on from
there. Does anyone know what key and what ASCII codes the 3270 terminal uses
to go on? I think it is a CLEAR button, but I'm not sure.

This list is in map3270. In my version the vt100 IS listed. If indeed the map3270 file is missing or defective, you'll need to find your Unix sysadmin, or build your own version. --James -- -- James Dugal, N5KNX Internet: jpd@usl.edu Associate Director Ham packet: n5knx@k5arh Computing Center US Mail: PO Box 42770 Lafayette, LA 70504 University of Southwestern LA.

I stand corrected. I am a VMS person and didn't recognize the UNIX pathname. As it turns out, the map3270 file does have the map for the VT100, just under the name VT100, not DEC-VT100. My problem was easily solved by using the SET command to change the value of TERM to VT100.
