Thanks, Richard.
I like the phrase "fullscreen mode" better, because (1) "block mode" can be confused with block special devices, and (2) the 3270 driver always runs a 3270 in block mode; at least as I wrote it the 3270 is inherently a block-mode device, whether used in line mode or in fullscreen mode; there is no per-character I/O interrupt.
Note that in line mode, the driver does honor a slightly-more-than-randomly-selected set of ESC sequences. For instance, try the wget command from a 3270 console and compare its console output with that to a 3215 console. The progress bar stays on the same line with the 3270 console.

Perhaps my terminology was wrong, it actually says block-mode. ...
