What do you mean by "attention"? By default TSO treats either ATTN or PA1 on an SNA 3270 as a request for TSO attention processing and PA2 as a reshow.
Have you looked at a VTAM or VTIOC trace? ATTN is expedited flow and PA1 is normal flow, -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

Thanks Timothy. I am indeed using TN3270E, but I am still somewhat mystified. PCOMM definitely maps "Attention" to the un-shifted Esc key on the keyboard, but it ACTS like PA1 in the ISPF / TSO HELP tutorial description on my employer's system, but not on my friend's system. He can use PA1 to "reshow" in ISPF, but not Attention. As I said originally, this is just a curiosity of mine, not a problem, but it is still a small mystery. Perhaps my employer's system has an exit (perhaps an ISPF / TSO STAX exit? maybe a VTAM exit?) coded somewhere that re-maps Attention to PA1?

Yet another possible complication/variation is if you're connecting via TN3270E versus TN3270. The "E" protocol handles certain special keys properly (or should), and the earlier protocol did not. -- This message and any attachments are intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
