To the Kermit newsgroup:

I access a mainframe from home, using Kermit on a PC (running DOS 5).
Once dialed in, I give a "tn" command to connect to the mainframe.
(Apparently "tn" is a version of "tn3270").  I am able to log on to the
mainframe, and things work pretty well ... except that the PF keys are not
mapped correctly.  For example, instead of F10, I have to use the sequence
"Escape 0".  Obviously, this is cumbersome.  Could anyone help me re-map
things so that the PF keys work properly?

I am working with the Tech Support people at my installation on this
issue, but so far they aren't too sure of the solution.  I've also read
the part of the Kermit FAQ entitled "Where is the key map for 3270
emulation" but am still unclear on things ... for instance, in which
Kermit file I place the "set key" commands.  If anyone out there has
experience with this area, and could help, I would be very appreciative!
Thanks,

    --Tom
