In new deployments, I would recommend (courtesy of discussion on IBM-MAIN): TERM LINEND <fieldmark> ESC OFF CHARDEL OFF LINEDEL OFF TABCHAR OFF That old Field Mark works great and isn't something guests are interested in. You just have to figure out which key on your keyboard produces it! (After 30 years of pressing #, the transition for us Old Dogs is challenging to say the least.) For all EBCDIC stuff, Linux assumes you are code page 37 (Grrrrrr!), including ^ and square brackets. IMO Linux should extract the code page information from the virtual console and translate accordingly. (sigh... I'm a cp924 guy myself...)
