[comp.windows.x] Defining keyboard mappings for 3270 emulation software

rls@lookout.uswest.COM (01/12/90)

Has anyone had experience using the SSI kyinit software
while inside of xterm?

We are using NCD X-terminals to run the 3270 emulation
software within xterm windows.  Kyinit reads an ascii
file which associates 3270 functions with escape sequences.
Our problem has been determining what escape sequence
to type into that file if the chosen key is not currently
generating anything.  I'm aware of xmodmap but it doesn't
always generate a "typable" escape sequence.  Is there a
methodical way to come up with a "typable " value other
than trial and error?   Also, does termcap enter into 
any of this?  
thanks in advance.
