IBM 3270 Display Emulation Capabilities

The IBM 3270 terminal emulation supports Extended Attribute mode which allows different representation of highlighted fields and permits host definition of text colors. (Note that you can modify colors using the Attribute Settings dialog, but they cannot be saved as colors are mapped differently in this mode.) The emulation also includes typeahead capability so that you can continue to enter data without waiting for a prompt from the host.

Keyboard Mapping

The functions of the computer keyboard are mapped as closely as possible to the terminal being emulated. The mapping of key functions can be determined by referring to the Emulation Keys list box in the Key Macro Settings dialog, which is displayed by selecting Key Macros... on the Tools menu.

The information in brackets in the right column indicates the default mapping of the key function named in the left column. In the list, S+ indicates the Shift key, C+ indicates the Control key and A+ indicates the Alt key. For example:

IB_ERASEINPUT (S+VK_PAUSE)

indicates that the Erase Input function is mapped to the key combination Shift + Pause.

Special key functions usually found on an IBM 3270 keyboard can be mapped to any key on your keyboard using the IB virtual key names listed in the Key Macro Settings dialog.
