In the old days, PFK13 to PFK24 were the primary PFKeys (with PFK01 to PFK12 secondary). PFK21 was orginally assigned to SWAP (toggle screens) by default and as a primary PFK. IBM then changed all that to be PC-compatible, making PFK01-PFK12 the new primary PFKs (possibly in OS/390, or even earlier in late MVS/ESA). But there could be an issue with your PC's 3270 emulator. If PFSHOW does not help, what happens if you change your PFK21 from 'RCHANGE' to 'END'? Does it then END the editing or does it do nothing? BTW I had no problems remapping keyboards with TN3270-Plus and QWS3270. Cheers, Chris Poncelet (retired sysprog)
