Has anyone devised a key mapping for tn3270 on DECstations that takes
advantage of the function keys on the keyboard? I would love to
received a copy of the map file if you have. Many thanks in advance.

Would you send me a note if you get replies to this? Thanks, Don. Donald R. Proctor <spgdrp@ganges.ucop.edu> University of California <spgdrp@uccvma.bitnet>

Am I being stupid and missing something? I run a strongly modified version of tn3270 on DECstations including my own. I have various mappings, which are normally chosen as a function of the TERM value (but can be overridden with a KEYMAP name). Normally TERM is either xterm (if I run xterm) or vt300 (if I run a dxterm window). The function keys work fine except when the window manager is set up to grab them first! I don't understand the "highlighted screen characters" remarks: I do actually do things with such characters, under the overall control of the various termcap entries for blink, reverse, bold etc. -- _ _ o | __ | jmg@cernvax.uucp | | | | _ / \ _ __ _ __ _| jmg@cernvax.bitnet | | | | |_) /_) | __/_) | (___\ | (_/ | J.
