'vi' will come up clean on a (dialed) 3270 (or the console if you did a #CP TERM CONMODE 3270 before bringing up Linux). You will still have pain w/r/t the <Esc> key. The 3270 driver honors the cursor positioning and text highlighting protocol used by a DEC VT220 (roughly ANSI X3.64).
With a (dialed) 3270, the PF keys will also work, so one could easily write a full-screen text-mode ASCII application that works equally well on either an ASCII terminal or on the 3270. No one seems to get this. UTS had (has!) the same capability. This is nothing new! -- R; <>< ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
