I utilize tn5250 under xterm and I have a SuSE 6.4 Linux distribution, I
don't understand the way to configure the right keyboard mapping (I mean the
right position of the command button, I only have resolved the first
problem, the keyboard language, using from the command line :
tn5250 map=280
the complete line that i input it's as below:
tn5250 map=280 TYPE=IBM-xxxx-xx 199.1.1.211:23
all goes well, I can see the login request from the IBM AS/400 but here
starts the problems (stupid i think), every button that i usual use in
Windows IBM Client Access isn't recognized, as i said when i press the
combination SHIFT+F11 (that it's command-23) I log out of the system, but
here...nothing. This isn't a tn5250 problem, but it's a simple configuration
mistake, i think, can anyone help me? I must use a 101 Keys standard PC
keyboard Italian. That's all.

Long life to Linux tn5250!!!
