SHOW3270 - Text mode EHLLAPI terminal (c) 1995 by Ridax programutveckling
=============================================================================
The SHOW3270 software is an utility that will allow you to interact with a
3270 or 5250 terminal session supporting EHLLAPI from a text mode session.
This is useful to for remote control utilities like OS2You (from Ridax) or
Telnet.
This utility is specially designed to work together with the OS2You/PM2You
Remote Control utility. The PM2You remote control utility have been able
to control 3270 sessions before, but was using the graphical PM environment,
which is slow to remote control. Using the SHOW3270 utility it is now
possible to use the less resource demanding text mode of OS2You/PM2You, which
will speed up performance incredibly.
Using the remote control utilities like OS2You/PM2You or Telnet together with
the SHOW3270 utility, you can now remotely control a 3270/5250 session through
dial-up modems, NetBIOS, TCP/IP, Telnet, SPX, ISDN or APPC in a simple way.
If you plan on using this utility over TCP/IP (Telnet), OS2You/PM2You are
recommended over the ordinary Telnet daemon, as OS2You/PM2You has a much more
effective way to send data to the remote client, yielding in better
performance.
You start the SHOW3270 utility with the command:
SHOW3270 A
The "A" character above specifies that you want to connect to the A session
of the 3270/5250 emulator. You can replace this session identifier with any
other character, however notice that this is case sensitive. If no session
identity is specified the A session is assumed.
To terminate the SHOW3270 utility you press Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Break. This will
not affect the 3270 session in any way.
The SHOW3270 emulator have a different keyboard mapping from the ordinary
3270/5250 terminal emulators. The following PC keys are treated specially:
PC-key Emulator key
========== ============
Enter Enter
Backspace Destructive space
Home Home
End End
Insert Insert
Delete Delete
PageUp PageUp
PageDown PageDown
Ctrl-A Attention
Ctrl-F Erase EOF
Ctrl-J Jump
Ctrl-L Clear
Ctrl-N New line
Ctrl-P Print
Ctrl-R Reset
Ctrl-S System Request
Ctrl-X PA1
Ctrl-Y PA2
Ctrl-Z PA3
Ctrl-C Terminate SHOW3270
Ctrl-Break d:o
As you can see, the mapping have been choosen in such a way that the 3270
keyboard will behave as similar as possible with the ordinary PC keyboard,
while the 3270 terminal emulators try to keep the 3270 keyboard layout as
similar as possible.
The SHOW3270 utility supports different emulator screen sizes, but does not
change the screen size dynamically. This means that if you want to control
a 3270 session with 34 lines, you should first enter the command
"MODE CO80,34" before starting the SHOW3270 utility.
