IBM Personal Communications 5.01
IBM Personal Communications 5.01
I'm currently running IBM Personal Communications 3270 emulator via wine. I'm encountering an issue where additional keystrokes are being added during normal operation of the emulator. I read where Linux and Windows handle keystroke differently and could cause this problem. If this is true, how do disable one or the other so that I just send the keystrokes that I enter. I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Thanks!

Re: IBM Personal Communications 5.01
What exactly happens and what did you expect to happen? More info would be nice.
Re: IBM Personal Communications 5.01
The software emulates a 3270 terminal which is textural. If it try to display the attributes of a dataset, I type an "I" in front of it and hit enter. When I do it under wine, I enter "I" and it displays the attribute screen momentarily, then reverts back to the original screen as though I pressed the (P)F3 key. I've had a few other encounters similar to that.

Re: IBM Personal Communications 5.01
You need to keep in mind that we have no idea what you're talking about. So some kind of screen doesn't open properly? Did you make sure that it actually sends a (P)F3 key?
