With regards to the above, I have tried a simple experiment. From the win95 I
telnet onto the nix-box using ansi emu. I logon onto the nix-box using a user
'tn5250' that I created that fires up the tn5250 program and connects to the
400. All looks ok except for the fact the F?-keys dont work, nor do the esc and
c-g keys ( well not properly ). Now the netcat program that Jason mentioned,
can it be used to intercept lets say the F1-key but remap it to what the 400
will understand ? 

If its going to be a major headache trying to get it to work through my
character progs, I would to try it as an idependent session. If all else fails
I will resort to tn5250 for windows and see if I can get the function keys
working.
