Here are my notes that I made while creating the icons for my SuSE 8.2
workstation:
Keyboard remapping:
Apply these changes to make x3270 behave like Extra! Sessions:
Use a File Manager with root priveleges to access the
/home/userid
directory. Change the view to show hidden files and use Kedit or some
other editor to add theses statements to the end of .Xresources:
!
! Some adjustments to the keyboard of x3270:
!
x3270.keymap.custom:\
<Key>Escape: Reset()\n\
<Key>Return: Newline()\n\
<Key>Control_R: Enter()\n\
<Key>End: EraseEOF()\n\
<Key>Pause: Clear()\n\
<Key>Prior: PA("1")\n\
<Key>Next: PA("2")\n\
Shift<Key>F1: PF(13)\n\
Shift<Key>F2: PF(14)\n\
Shift<Key>F3: PF(15)\n\
Shift<Key>F4: PF(16)\n\
Shift<Key>F5: PF(17)\n\
Shift<Key>F6: PF(18)\n\
Shift<Key>F7: PF(19)\n\
Shift<Key>F8: PF(20)\n\
Shift<Key>F9: PF(21)\n\
Shift<Key>F10: PF(22)\n\
Shift<Key>F11: PF(23)\n\
Shift<Key>F12: PF(24)\n
!
! Now tell x3270 to use these adjustments.
!
x3270.keymap: custom
!
! then open a shell and issue: xrdb -merge .Xresources
When finished, save /home/userid/.Xresources and open a shell. Issue
the command xrdb -merge .Xresources to activate the overrides. The
next time you open a session with x3270, the changes will be in effect.
Different screen models:
Create an icon on the desktop and set the application path to:
'/usr/X11R6/bin/x3270' -model 3279-5 mvshost1
Change the model to 3279-4 or 3279-2 as needed, and change the host
field to vmhost1 as needed.
