Re: Arrow keys in (I guess) PC5250

PC5250 has always cared about the scroll lock - it also cares if you have caps lock on or the shift of 5250 on - if you have a up-pointing arrow in the bottom area of the emulator, hit left shift and/or caps lock

Check out if your "Scroll Lock" key is set...

As I said earlier, that was it.

But why should PC5250 care what the status of Scroll Lock is? Nothing else does! And OUR emulator, because it's in the correct position, simply reads it as "Help."

I don't suppose there is anything in PC5250 to have it ignore Scroll Lock?

(You'd think that IBM could come up with an emulator that's realistic enough to please a discriminating terminal-jock!)
