Thanks for your help on th Xdefaults file. I have had some success and I think I am getting it.

Ctrl-t doesn't give me TestReq.
I mapped Escape(which i would prefer) to "/024".
That doesn't give me TestReq either.

On the man page for tn5250, it gives all the functions which are supported
but not the ascii sequences which are generated. Is there such
a table somewhere?

There isn't a table, but here's how it works (maybe I should make a table):


The man page says that FieldExit is Control-k or Meta-x (Meta is usually the escape key unless you have a real unix keyboard from someone like Sun with a Meta key on it). The escape code for the escape key is \033. So the string for field exit is \033x, which is Meta followed by 'x'.

For testreq you need Control followed by 't'. I don't know how control is specified, so I'm CC'ing this to linux5250@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

If someone wants to point me to a table of keys with their octal translation appropriate for use in XTerm I will add this info to the HOWTO.
