Defining Functions in terminfo
Appendix A 71
Used for moving backwards through the sequence of
items in a dialog box. If Backtab is not available, the
keystroke Ctrl+B can be used instead. (These
keystrokes are equivalent only in the menu interface.)
In TN3270 emulation, the default key mapping for the
3270 BACKTAB key is Backtab; remap this to Ctrl+B or
any other suitable keystroke if you do not have the
Backtab key.
Insert, Delete, and Backspace: kich1, kdch1, and kbs
Insert and Delete are used in the TN3270 emulation
program as defaults for the 3270 INSERT and
DELETE keys. If Insert and Delete are not available,the
3270 keys can be remapped to different keystrokes.
Delete and Backspace can be useful for modifying
information in an edit box. (On some terminal types,
such as the Wyse 60, Backspace is interpreted as a Left
arrow key.)
Color support: colors, pairs, setb, setf
The TN3270 menu interface can be run without color
support, but it will use color if your terminal supports
it. This applies particularly when communicating with
host TN3270 programs that support color.
Attribute support: blink, bold, dim, rev, smul, rmul,
sgr0
The TN3270 display screen can be run without
attribute support, but if your terminal provides
attribute support, attributesupport displays underline,
reverse and blinking characters sent by the host.
Blinking characters do not display as blinking on Motif
displays.
Access to terminal's status line: hs, fsl, tsl
If your terminal's hardware supports a status line to
which user programs can write, you can customize
TN3270 sessions to write the 3270 status line to the
terminal's status line. If this feature is not available,
the TN3270 emulation program uses the last line of the
screen to display the status line. Depending on the
TN3270 screen model and the terminal's screen size,
