Thanks for responding.
To answer your questions:
1. The file that keeps getting changed is called 'TN5250JPROD.props',
which is used in one type of session. Surprisingly, the date/time stamp
of the file doesn't change. I have another props file that doesn't
change. The file will change when I manually kill all of the java
processes or restart the computer.
2. I don't have a problem manually editing the keyboard file. My biggest
challenge was figuring out what to call the '+' key on the numeric
keypad.
3. To run the emulator, I am calling a file called, 'tn5250j.jnlp' The
content of the file is below. I am not versed enough in Java to
understand what it is doing. Maybe this will help:
tn5250.jnlp

I haven't tried Client Access, yet. We're not licensed for it. We have
Bosanova, but I prefer TN5250J (although I do like their file transfer
utility. It's almost as easy as ODBC).
If you need a tester for Vista, I'd be happy to volunteer.

This sounds really bad - what changes are happening to to which files?

I think think this problem is related to the java version. IIRC It works
with java 1.4 and doesn't with java 5. It's on my todo list to fix this
but I don't know when I will find the time...

Sorry no idea, yet.

Sorry. I'm happy Linux user ;-)
But I'll try to find a PC with Vista and give it a try.
This sounds almost as bad as Client Access, where V5R3 doesn't work with
Vista and IBM won't fix it (as I've been told by a customer just
yesterday)
