What were you trying to do?
USING X3270 TO logon remotely to an account of mine at PUCC
What's wrong:
Using insert mode when editing (our insert key does this) there seems
no way to get out of it or reset.
What should have happened:
This matters because an overfull line leads to irreversible (so
far as I can see -- and I've tried C-every-key-on-the-board) keyboard lock
on the remote connection. The only way I've found to logout from PUCC then
is to logoff from AThena, which breaks the remote connection. Then one can
connect there again. Quite a hastle for a routine editing error of trying
to put too much on a line. There should be a way to use insert as an
on-off toggle or else some way to reset out of the x3270 screen freeze.
Either should unfreeze the screen.
