Maybe this was already mentioned inthe thread, but I've been verifying effects of the changes to "Terminal type" by looking at the output from man commands issued from an ISHELL panel (in addition to viewing the macros mentioned). Square brackets look great there. But not so the square brackets I enter from my keyboard.
I'm using PComm with "Session parameters - Host Code-Page" set to 1047. It was probably mentioned somewhere in this thread, but I don't know if that specification effects both keyboard mapping and display or just display. >The square brackets that display correctly are x'AD' and x'BD'. These are their code points in CP1047. This is the default for the z/OS UNIX shell and utilites. So, as long as the terminal emulator is set to CP1047, they'll show up as expected. >The square brackets from PComm are x'B0' and x'6A'. I've seen the brackets assigned to various code points in various code pages, but I could not find the code page that maps then to x'B0' and x'6A'. Does anybody know which code page this might be? >I know I can change the keyboard mapping. Sure, but as far as PComm is concerned you would use the keyboard mapping tool and there you only assign characters "visibly", i.e. you select from a list or you type them in. I've not seen a place where you can specify a hex value to be sent. IHMO, PComm will use the current Windows code page for the ASCII side (i.e. your keyboard) and the Host Code Page setting to translate from the character typed to the hex value to be sent to the host. If you open the keyboard utility, what character is shown as being the character assigned to the "bracket" keys? '¬' and '¦'? -- Peter Hunkeler Credit Suisse ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
