Hi Jay
I'm assuming you mean Scott's improved patch (which I think he said in
now in cvs), rather than my first excursion into C programming[1] ;-)
One thing you *could* [:)] look at though is the Help key binding. This
is listed as ^H in the man page, but has disappeared from tn5250 at some
point. We've a number of screens that don't use F1 as Alt-Help, so I
can't get to application help or message subfiles[2] on them at present.
Oh, kudos to whoever added Esc as Attn in /usr/local/tn5250/XTerm - I
don't know how long it's been there, as I got so used to ^A instead[3].
At least it'll make the occasional use of CA less confusing. I only
noticed when I dozily tried to exit SEU with Esc:wq ;-) Maybe I should
just dump SEU and use Vim permanently...
Regards, Martin
[1] Can anyone recommend a good book explaining C to a novice? I don't
think I'm likely to learn it anytime soon (starting off with Python), but
I would like to understand it enough to follow what most of the code is
doing.
[2] That's not strictly true - I can get to message subfile entries by a
SysRq3 and option 10 for the job log, but it's more long-winded.
[3] Our menu system is group job based, so I use Attn a lot.
