HP-UX TN3270 Users Guide, March 1998

78 Chapter 3
Getting Started with 3270 Emulation
Overview of 3270 Operations
• Session ID (if one is assigned)
• Last host response time
• Name of the printer or file to which local copy printing is directed
After you have finished viewing this information, use the STAT HELP
keystroke again to remove the help screen.
Status Line Display for Keystroke Recording and
Replay
When you use the RECORD or REPLAY keys (see “Keystroke Recording
and Replay”), the status line display is temporarily replaced by a list of
the identifiers assigned to recorded keystroke sequences. (However, you
can use the STAT HELP key, described in “Status Line Help”, to find out
status information.) The normal status line display is restored when you
select an identifier for the keystroke sequence to record or replay.
Switching between 3270 Sessions
To switch from one 3270 session to another, use 3270 system keys. Press
NEXTSESS (default keystroke Ctrl + V) to move to the next display
session, or enter the correct SESS n key combination (default
keystrokes Esc 1–Esc 0 for sessions 1–10) for the session you want to move
to.
Motif If you are using the Motif TN3270 emulation program, the NEXTSESS
and SESS n keystrokes are not supported. Instead, you can move to a
new terminal window using the mouse as usual.

Temporary Exit from 3270 Emulation
While using the TN3270 emulation program, you can perform a
temporary exit to the HP-UX shell while leaving the TN3270 emulation
program running. This starts a new HP-UX shell of the type specified by
the SHELL environment variable (the default is /bin/sh). Use the shell,
for example, to list the contents of a directory or to run a HLLAPI
application or a command-line file transfer process. To end this
temporary shell and return to the TN3270 emulation program, use the
end-of-file (EOF) sequence for your terminal, typically Ctrl + D.
