Required and Recommended Functions in the terminfo Database
Defining Functions in terminfo
Appendix A66
Alternate character mode: acsc , enacs , smacs , rmacs
Used to draw the menus and dialog
boxes. If the HP-UX terminal does
not support drawing menus and
dialog boxes, it can still use the menu
interface, but the menus and dialog
boxes will be drawn with characters
such as - and + instead of solid lines.
The TN3270 program with the
international option uses the ISO
8859 character set instead of the PC
character set. In this case, whether
you can display the box drawing
characters depends on your version of
HP-UX and its curses library. You
may be able to use them by modifying
the acsc mapping, or you may have
to remove the acsc mapping and use
the - and + characters.
F2. . . F12 function keys: kf2 . . . kf12
Used in TN3270 emulation to
represent the 3270 keys PF2 to PF12.
Some of these keys are also used as
accelerators in the menu interface to
provide a “short-cut” to certain
dialogs or functions. If you do not
have these keys, you can remap the
3270 keys to different keystrokes.
The accelerator keys cannot be
remapped, but it is possible to reach
the same dialogs or functions by
using the main screen menus.
Left and Right arrow keys: kcub1 and kcuf1
Used for moving within edit boxes
and for selecting buttons from radio
groups. If you do not have these keys,
you can replace text in edit boxes
instead of modifying it, and you can
