Re: Can I start a 5250 screen from a browser ?

It won't work any better in other versions of Windows or the OS it's what
VT100 does.

As far as the keys are concerned you can make it work but it's not pretty,
try doing a DSPVTMAP when you telnet from a Windows command prompt it will
show you the keys to use.

There is also a SETVTMAP and a CHGVTMAP command but neither AFAIK are
persistent when you quit telnet.

All these command do *not* work form a regular 5250 session.

Hi:

Yes, telnet from a Windows command line does connect via a virtual device
(named QPADEVxxxx). However, the display I get doesn't display underscores
for input capable fields or respond to function keys. The first is a minor
annoyance, the second is anything but minor.

This may work better in newer versions of i5/OS/400 or Windows than the
setup I tested:  V5R2 and W2K Pro. Or, there may be something about our
configuration that is unusual. However, the general case is disproved.
