Re: iSeries Access / ACS display differences

Yeah, I'm using Lucida Console - I tried IBM 3270 and see the question marks.

You could go with almost any other font and see the boxes - Consolas is a nice one, I think.

I have the 1st 3 options all set to No - Fixed Font, Scalable, and Antialiasing, IIRC.

Good call, man!

Hi Jack

That is the cursor, right? Did I miss something? Wasn't the question
about how non-displayable characters appear? They are an RI box on 5250
- Paul said they are a ? on ACS?

Now as I look at my screen, I'm using ACS, and I'm seeing those boxes
for codes below hex40 - so I'm not sure of anything at the moment!!

Cheers

Hi Paul

I don't know where any of this is controlled, if any.

There might be confusion about the emulator - I believe ACS is NOT based
on the same product as PC5250 is - I believe ACS is based on the Java-based
emulator, Host-On-Demand. PC5250 is based on Personal Communication, which
is not Java-based.

Why do I think this about ACS? Because of the extension on the session
files, HOD, which was used in the other product.

Anyhow, there are other things different already, this might just be one
of those things. But it'd be nice if the block could be used.

I can toggle the cursor between underline and block on this menu
