The newest release of PMANT and TN3270 use the default translate
tables that don't support the ^ sign.  In \TCPIP\ETC there is a file
named "3278XLT.SAM".  This file contains the default translate tables.
To use it you must rename or copy it into "3278XLT.TBL".  Now you have
a tranlate table that does the default and does not help you.  You need
to mod the table to support the ^ sign.  In the top ASCII to EBCDIC
table, you should change the line labeled 50 in the far right column.
The change is that the next to last byte should be changed from "B0"
to "5F".  Now you have a not sign on both input and output!
