The copy-n-paste point makes me wonder if the fonts are actually mapped to ASCII values.
I was wondering the same thing. I'm watching the thread to learn more.
I don't know graphical environments well enough to analyze it. But it would mean that, yes, there *is* A/E translation happening even in the graphical 3270 emulators. (In hopes of not steering Juan wrong with what I said before.)
I would have naively assumed that the A/E translation is happening between the TN3270* protocol and the in memory screen buffer.
This would mean that the buffer can be displayed with any font the user chooses /and/ it would more cleanly support copy / paste.
*I actually assume that similar would happen with communications using more traditional SNA on the LAN; e.g. DLC. -- If memory even remotely serves after a long day.
