On the DEC Ultrix machines we have here on campus, the arrow keys can be used for tn3270 as well. I was really used to it and then came the NeXT. Now either is fine with me. To change the mappings, just take a look at /etc/map3270. That is where all of the key mappings are kept. ------ Mike Matthews, matthews@lewhoosh.umd.edu (NeXT)/matthews@umdd (bitnet) ------ Do not underestimate the value of print statements for debugging. Don't have aesthetic convulsions when using them, either.

With the default setup, you don't have to move your fingers off the home row to move the cursor around. Takes some getting used to, but so does touch-typing. ------ Mike Matthews, matthews@lewhoosh.umd.edu (NeXT)/matthews@umdd (bitnet) ------ The older a man gets, the farther he had to walk to school as a boy.
