You could use NED, but the other concerns do not change. A 3270 is not a character-mode terminal. It won't ever behave like a normal Linux terminal, and only applications like NED that are specially programmed to deal with 3270 semantics can do full screen operations. A useful way to think about this is that the Linux/390 console support is exactly equivalent to having a physical teletype terminal as your interaction. If it is possible to do an operation on a TTY, it can be done with a Linux 3270 or HMC console. If you couldn't do it on a TTY, then you can't do it on those devices. -- db ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
