So I think this is "simply" a question of the PC-side display font and
input method. I think you need to talk to Tom about how he maps EBCDIC
data to display fonts. I see in the Vista Thick font supplied by Tom,
the sputnik is at X'A4', and the Euro is at X'B0', which matches the
Microsoft ever-growing CP1252, rather than ISO 8859-15 (IBM CP 923).
For Windows codepage 1252, the euro is at 0x80. For Unix (8859-15, IBM cp
923), the euro is at 0xA4. For OS/2 (cp 858), it is at 0xD5.
If the emulator uses a Unicode character interface to the operating system,
the PC code page is unimportant.

For my particular need, getting correct EBCDIC values
for brackets and viewing the Euro, I was able to satisfy
this need with some help from Tom Brennan and some
suggestions from this list. Here are the pieces:
1. For SDSF parms, set CODPAG(CP01140) on TRTAB
(then refresh the SDSF parms with this command:
F SDSF,REFRESH,M(01)
'01' refers to the last two digits of
ISFPRMxx, which is the member of PARMLIB
with SDSF paramters)
Note: For other spool management products,
perhaps the ISVs can chime in with
how to do this for their product)
2. For ISPF, under Settings I ensured Enable Euro
was checked, and for terminal type I used
3278L1
3. For Vista tn3270, it turns out I was down level,
so Tom sent me a link to the current version,
which I installed.
But this didn't solve the problem entirely.
Eventually Tom suggested I add a few lines
to a configuration file, and voila! it works!
I'll not go into the details of the above
mod because I've passed all the info back to
Tom and he may automatically update Vista so
that you don't need to make the mod. If you're
interested, and if you already use Vista,
contact Tom. He's exceptionally responsive.
