Kirk, That's an excellent point. I was actually thinking about that just after I answered -- how one might check for some sort of input to pause, stop or cancel things. I think it could probably be done somehow though. Still it would be a kludge and probably awkward.
Then I was thinking, well it's just the nature of 3270 and that for a Unix shell TCP/IP clients like telnet, rlogin, and ssh are superior. On the other hand, just for the sake of discussion, we've taken a step backwards with one of our newest technologies, http and web pages. Their behavior is almost identical to a 3270 application and you have to jump through some hoops and fake things to get a scrolling output. Funny, I was just looking again at OMVS which I rarely use unless I have to cause I hate it. I did an ls -la /tmp/ without realizing that there were a few thousand files there. It has been scrolling away for almost 10 minutes now. (-: It says at the bottom left: ESC=¢ But I have no idea where the ¢ key is nor how to stop it.
