RE: [LINUX5250] Remapping of keys

[Adam Gouge <GOUGEA@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for the reference to that documentation but I don't think it
answered my question.  I appologize for not being more specific.  I am
running tn5250 in console mode, not in X.  In fact, what I would like to do
is change the default shell of the user to tn5250 which I have done
successfully.  This stops them from having any access to a regular shell
such as zsh, bash, tcsh, etc.  The documentation talks about xterm and where
to change the mappings if you are using it, but I am not using xterm.  Does
this mean my mapping changes need to happen in /etc/termcap or /etc/inputrc?

Adam,

I think this one is covered in the manuals and at the forum (on a weekly
basis)

go here
http://archive.midrange.com/linux5250/index.htm

and search for this

"Hi. how would i go about changing the keyboard"

its one of the most helpful threads on changing keymaps.

Good Luck

HTH
Matt

I am using RedHat 6.0 with a minimal install for use only as terminals to
our AS400.  I have installed TN5250 and it works great, but I need to change
a few key mappings.  Before they will allow this Linux installation to be
implemented, I have to make the key mappings as close to Client Access
defaults as possible.  Specifically the RESET and ATTENTION key sequences.
Currently these are set to the defaults, c-r and c-a respectively.  I need
to change the resent sequence to be just the ESC key and the ATTENTION
sequence to be just the left CTRL key.  Can someone point me in the right
direction here?  What keymap files need to be edited?  Do I have to edit the
source and recompile?  Is there a HOWTO document that may help with this?
Thanks in advance for the help.
