Hehe. The 3270 keys are only available from a 3270 X terminal. I
mapped them just because I can, but they aren't useful to people with a
PC keyboard. I've never even seen a 3270 X terminal, but apparently
there is one, as X has keysyms for it.
Flexible keyboard mapping is on the to-do list, but for now I'm
hard-coding keys to be as close to a real dumb terminal as possible.
Print key is mapped to the Print Screen key, if I'm reading that right.
I'm not sure that will work... Attention isn't mapped anywhere - tell
me where it usually is mapped and I can get that done in thirty seconds.

It shouldn't need to run in a gnome session. The screen repainting
works fine on my machine (700 PIII ;-) and also fine at home (200 K-6),
but there is an issue where it is redrawing parts of the terminal much
more than necessary (every time the cursor blinks). I _do_ plan to fix
that, but I'm more worried about getting basic functionality working at
this point.

Huhn? That isn't working for me... What version of GTK+ do you have
installed? I have 1.2.6 and probably something slightly older at home.
You can pick fonts with `xfontsel' I really can't recommend any fonts
for two reasons : 1) I can never find a font *I* like, and 2) which
fonts you have is completely dependent on where you got your X server.
The only one you can count on is `fixed'.
There are a few 3270 fonts floating around, but I haven't tried them.
They may be in EBCDIC character sets, so it might not be useful.
