Re: 132X27 display and F12

I haven't run across a problem with F12 not working by itself, though 
F11, F12, F23 and F24 can fail to work if your termcap/terminfo entry
is set up wrong...  Make sure that the xterm-5250 terminfo entry is
installed properly.

If that doesnt do the trick, make sure that the string being sent by F12
in /usr/local/share/tn5250/XTerm matches the terminfo/termcap entry for
F12.

If you still don't get anywhere with that, one workaround would be to
change /usr/local/share/tn5250/XTerm, so that the F12 line reads like
this:

~Shift <Key>F12: string("\033+") \n\

which will tell it to hit ESC +  when you hit the F12 key in xt5250,
circumventing the whole terminfo/termcap issue altogether.  :)

Good luck...
