However, there is a utility tn3270 under 4.3bsd which might be of use. (man -k 3270 gives the folowing) : map3270 (5) - database for mapping ascii keystrokes into IBM 3270 keys mset (1) - retrieve ASCII to IBM 3270 keyboard map tn3270 (1) - full-screen remote login to IBM VM/CMS I have not used it however, but you might want to check it out. -- Zdenko Tomasic UWM, Chem.
