Re: ALT-F1 key mapping

Our users are using tn5250 to connect and run our back office
application on the iSeries. The application uses the F1 key as the exit
screen function and ALT-F1 for the help function. The ALT-F1 does
render the help screens when using the pc5250/iAccess emulator but does
with the tn5250. Is there different key sequence that produces the
ALT-F1 codes in the tn5250 emulator?

Alt-F1? I would guess pc5250 has that particular combination mapped to the HELP key. tn5250 uses control-h for that.

the design of operating systems. please pass them along to redmond
when you're done reading them :)
