The only problem there is that i am working off a note book and do not have a full size keyboard. Tell me what to do and I shall go for it.... I already am having a problem with the F12 key, as the same key is used to pop the CD player, and it does not seem to be sending to the screen at all. Not a tn5250 problem, I understand. I'll check on the apple page. The other issue I noticed in tn5250 (as opposed to xt5250, see below) is that something was up with my F14 key. I went into an old version of BPCS which requires that you press F14 to get off the splash screen. While <esc> 3 worked as f3, and <esc>-^ (shifted 6) worked as f18 in pdm, the 400 did not seem to recognise f14 when on the BPCS splash screen. What am I doing wrong? the process i went through to install was - get Xdarwin from XonX and install it get xfree86 from sourceforge and install it. get ncurses from sourceforge and install it get tn5250..... I seem to recall that ncurses wanted X11R6 for some reason, but i may be wrong.... > >> >> Off to find out about terminfo/termcap to try and make the xt5250 work >> > > Actually, you may not need to change termcap/terminfo to make > xt5250 work :) > > Try this: > > 1) Edit /usr/local/bin/xt5250 > 2) Go down to the bottom of the file.
