help! I'm new to all this and I hope I'm not posting this in the wrong place. I f so, just send me a mild rebuff. I'm using Quicklink II on my Mac SE and have trouble with emulating the VT100 keyboard of AU's mainframe CMS system. I espec ially need to know how to clear the screen (clear on vt100) and the PF key equi valents other than PF1-4. Others must have the same problem. Is it just lousy s oftware, do I need to get a new keyboard that I can't afford? Hope this was an appropriate message and thanks for any help.

I suspect there may be another layer of emulation going on in your situation, e.g., a vt100 keyboard emulating an IBM 3270(?) keyboard. Better talk to some mainframe gurus. -- Jim Walker jwwalker@cs.scarolina.edu 76367.2271@compuserve.com
