[LINUX5250] Re: 122 kbd

But 'Pressing'  Control t does not do cause the AS400 to do a testreq.
And I don't know how to code a character control followed by a character t.
control is not an ascii character, it is a modifier like Shift.

Is it possible you guys have different "kind' of AS400 than I have?
One in which ctrl-t / 0x14 / \024 is test request?
Or is there hard code in tn5250 which maps ctrl-t to test req.?

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.
