HP-UX TN3270 Users Guide, March 1998

26 Chapter 1
Introducing the TN3270 Emulation Program
Overview
• Print a paper copy of your current TN3270 emulation display on any
printer shared by the HP-UX server
• Store a copy of the current display to a local file
The host application can also request a local copy print, which it sends to
a printer or file in the same way.
Keyboard Remapping
The keyboard remapping facility gives you flexibility in customizing your
keyboard. You can view, swap, and disable key assignments. You can also
change 3270 key assignments to a key or key combination (or more than
one key or key combination) on your terminal. The following are
examples of keyboard remapping:
• You can map PA1 to any key on your terminal's keyboard, such as Ctrl
+ F1.
• If you use two different keyboards and one of the two does not have a
complete set of function keys, you can map PF12 to both F12 and Esc
Esc F2. You must have a separate style file for each keyboard, and you
must start the emulation program with the style file appropriate for
the keyboard you are using.
Keystroke Recording and Replay
You can record up to 24 sequences of keystrokes that you need to use
regularly during TN3270 emulation (for example, the key sequence
required to start up a host application, log on, and perform any standard
initialization), and then replay these sequences later, instead of having
to type all the keystrokes again. The keystroke sequences can include
any of the following:
• Data characters
• Cursor control keys
• Program function or program access keys
• Keys, such as ENTER, that send information to the host
• Pauses to enable you to type in variable data
For more information about keystroke recording and replay, see Chapter
3, “Getting Started with 3270 Emulation.”
