Nov 6, 2019 · the cursor shape depends ONLY on the 3270 emulator used check the configuration options of the 3270 emulator

Dec 31, 2010 · I'm wondering how to turn them on. Right now I'm running tn3270 on Mac OS X, and WC3270 on Windows XP. Is there a setting for either of those that would turn them on, a different emulator I could get, or a different terminal type I would need to emulate? by enrico-sorichetti » Fri Dec 31, 2010 6:27 pm.

The MoveCursor1() action moves the terminal cursor to a specific location. It uses 1-origin coordinates.

The Insert Cursor command instructs the 3270 to place the visible cursor at the current buffer position. If we wanted to place the cursor at a specific row and column, we would probably first use a SBA command to set the buffer position followed by the IC command to place the cursor.

Table 1 shows the default key functions for PC/3270. The key used is the same for all the supported keyboard types. Table 1. Default Key Functions for a 3270 Layout; Function of Key Key; APL: ... Cursor Blink: Ctrl+F10: Cursor Down: ↓ or 2(pad) Cursor Left: ← or 4(pad) Cursor Right: → or 6(pad) Cursor Select: Ctrl+F9: Cursor Up: ↑ or 8 ...

If set, x3270 will display a crosshair over the cursor: lines extending the full width and height of the screen, centered over the cursor position. This makes locating the cursor on the screen much easier.

To determine screen attributes for a particular screen location on a 3270 display terminal, you can use the ATTR3270 function. This function provides information about the standard field, extended field, and character attribute values associated with a screen location.

You should be aware of the 3270 screen size, cursor select key, error messages, and null characters when using 3270 emulation. When using 3270 full-screen mode for your Telnet client, you should be aware of the following considerations:

Normal Cursor : Check one of the radio buttons to select the cursor style. Check the Blink check box if you want your cursor to blink. Check the Cross Hair check box of you want a Cross Hair (vertical and/or horizontal rule) added to the cursor.

Here is a complete list of the customizable X11 resources used by x3270, their meanings, default values, command-line switches and menu options that change them. Note that any resource can be set on the command line with the -xrm switch. This one is a lot of fun. When set to true, x3270's icon becomes a live. miniature of the screen display.
