I never liked x3270 for 3270 emulation, probably because I could not find the keys that I needed and having a picture of the keyboard next to the screen is not very handy. It feels much better with the following key mappings defined in the file
This defines the keys as they were in 3270 Entry Level Emulation (the father of all 3270 emulators). Be aware that the definitions are case sensitive.
~/.x3270pro
x3270.keymap:robbie
x3270.keymap.robbie: <key>Control_R: Enter()\n <key>Control_L: Reset()\n <key>Return: Newline()\n <key>Next: PA(2)\n <ey>Prior: PA(1)\n <key>End: EraseEOF()\n

I am finally moving to a Linux desktop as my primary workstation. This is happening on a fairly old P3 750Mhz with a 30G hard disk, last found running Windows98 and considered too slow to run XP.
Earlier attempts convinced me that Linux was not really ready for the desktop, but I am pretty happy so far. The installation of Fedora Core 4 was mostly painless and I am delighted to see that even printing works. This is actually easier than it has been on Windows XP as far as I know.
