RE: 5250 via port 2300 and HMC problem/?

My HMC is running at v7.7.1 SP 1...not that it matters. once the
connection is established and you have the console up F21 should be
processed by the IBM i OS not the HMC. what emulator are you using Client
Access or other? is it possible that someone changed the keyboard
mapping, etc?


Thanks,
Tommy Holden

hmc is running 7.3.5 SP1
Let's just say the System i Access is "very recent".
