I've used PA2 to generate ^D. I'll try the others.

Of course the one thing I'm most interested in, is that the
documentation [Documentation/s390/3270.txt) says that I can enter ^n at
the end of the line (though from the defkeymap.map file it looks like
that should really be just a lone ^ at the end of the line) to send
input without a newline at the end.  It would make stuff like vim much
easier to use from a 3270.

Of course, the 3270.txt also refers to non-existant things in /proc
which have probably moved to /sys somewhere, to configure the 3270
driver.  Hopefully at some point i'll have time to contribute some
updates to that documentation, once I sort out what is going on.

Thanks.
