I will mention that this is only needed if you cannot change the codes
being sent by your 3270 emulator. I have Hummingbird set up so that the
correct IBM-1047 (C language) codes are sent for all the keys. I think
this also includes the "vertical bar", which is x'4F', but which many
emulators have as the "broken vertical bar" or x'6A'. This in particular
has caused problems for our mainframe programmers in that they create
files to be ftp'ed to Windows which are "bar separated" (instead of
"comma separated") and they get the wrong result after the ftp. I had to
create a special ftp translate table just for that problem.
