Re: reversed rollkeys

[Jim Langston <jlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When I started using an AS/400 the roll keys were backwards
to me, but I kept mine at the default, because that is how everyone
else did it.

But then I was using a 5250 emulator, and Page Up would Page Down,
and vice verse, so I went into my user profile and added *ROLLKEY,
under User Options (USROPT) and added *CLKWD and *EXPERT
while I was there.

This lasted about a month, when people would call me to have me help
them with something, and I would try using their keyboard and never
be able to find anything with everything scrolling the wrong way.  So I
remove my *ROLLKEY, go another emulator that allowed me to
reverse the rollkeys in it instead of the AS/400.

Regards,

Jim Langston
