Nice to know, but I usually don't have the scroll-bar turned on to that I can see the full screen, even if I shrink the window size. Thanks. Still want to just turn off the damned key! :-)

Scroll-Lock Key When the Scroll Lock keyboard indicator is turned on, the cursor movement keys and the Page Up and Page Down keys are used to scroll windows only when you specify With Scroll-Bar in the Window Setup window. If you specify Without Scroll-Bar, you cannot use the Scroll Lock key, because the entire screen is displayed. For example, cursor-movement keys do nothing in Scroll Lock mode.

When the Scroll Lock (or "ScrLk") key is (always accidentally) pressed from an emulated 3270, odd and very frustrating things happen. On my full keyboards I always just pull the Scroll Lock keycap right off they keyboard (along with the stupid Windows keys). But my IBM X41 laptop has Scroll Lock (defined as the lower-case key) and NumLock key (defined as the uppercase key) on the same key, so I cannot readily pry that keycap off without losing NumLock, too. PCOM's keyboard remapping utility won't allow you to re-map (or turn off) the Scroll Lock key. Has anyone else discovered a way to forcibly prevent this cursed key from working while in a 3270 emulator session? Thanks in advance.
