This question is addressed in our FAQ:
ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/faq.txt
It actually doesn't do much good to post a 3270 key mapping because,
as the FAQ points out, no two sites are likely to use the same one.
The only 3270 key mapping that will work at a particular site is the
one which is configured in the protocol converter, and that can be
absolutely anything at all. For example, at one site, the cursor-up
function -- which you would probably want to assign to the up-arrow
key -- would need to send the DEC VT terminal sequence ESC O A or
ESC [ A or ESC A (depend on the VT model and cursor keypad mode). But
at another site, which likes to use EMACS-style mappings, the cursor-up
function might be Ctrl-P. There is no way to know what your 3270
protocol converter expects from the terminal other than to ask your
site administrators, who configured the device.
