Blue color: I've never been able to see blue (0,0,255) very well, so it might be more than just getting old. I would watch other people having no trouble reading their blue text while I struggled.

No one's mentioned Attachmate Extra!, which surprises me.  In the past six or 
seven clients I think I've used five or six different emulations.  I like Extra 
alright, and BlueZone, and Reflections.  For reasons I'm unable to quantify, 
one I like maybe better than those is QWS3270 by Jolly Giant.

The features I value most:

Keyboard mapping; I use Dvorak, but also change definitions quite a bit.

Programmability.  I don't need it often, but sometimes it enables me to do some 
arduous large data collection task that I can't find an API for otherwise.

Recently I've taken to modifying the colors a bit.  Maybe I'm just getting old, 
but the navy is too dark to read against black (so I lighten it a bit) and a 
white cursor nearly disappears against a green background (so I darken the 
green).

I am very interested to see how people are responding.

I would also be curious to learn what different features that people use.  --  
I'm selfishly interested in terminal support of graphics.  I believe that's 
GDDM (?) on IBM mainframes.  Sixel and ReGIS graphics from DEC.  And the likes.

I'd be interested in reading a summary once the survey is complete.

What 3270 emulator are you using?
