IBM Enhanced Keyboard Differences

We are converting from a AIX-based System/36 emulation to the AS/400.  We
are running OS/400 V4R1 and Client Access V3R1M2 SF41904.  Some of the
special characters (like the square brackets) appear on the screen
differently on the AS/400 Client Access session than they did on our 3151
ASCII terminals.  These same differences are seen when I type on the Client
Access keyboard.  But if I ftp the file back to the RS6000, I see the
normal PC character.

We need Client Access to send and display the same characters as a PC
normally produces.  I know we can remap the keyboard for each user in
Client Access but that won't fix our screwy screens.  I have been reviewing
the National Language Support manual but I haven't been able to effect any
change yet.  Any suggestions?

Our AS/400 settings:
     QCHRID    00697 00037
     QCCSID    0037
     QKBDTYPE  USB
My Client Access settings:
     Host code page 037
     API setting    819

The special characters according to Client Access:
` 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 - = ? ? \ ; ' , . /
~ ! @ # $ % ? & * ( ) _ + { } | : " < > ?
The special characters in standard ASCII mode:
` 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 - = [ ] \ ; ' , . /
~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + { } | : " < > ?
