Title: Maxess 1.3.0 Keyboard Mapping
Date: 10/20/89

Copyright 3Com Corporation, 1991.  All rights reserved.

With Maxess 1.2.1, you were able to use the following keys (in
3270 display/printer emulation) to produce specific characters:

        Shift-6            = caret symbol (^)
        [ (left bracket)   = vertical bar (|)
        ] (right bracket)  = cents symbol

With Maxess 1.3.0, you cannot get these symbols with the default keyboard
mapping.  This article explains how to remap the keyboard to get them.

The files you need are listed below.  They are stored in the Ask3Com
forum in the Documentation library, under the name MAXKEY.ZIP:

XTABLE.EXE    -  modifies the translation table files
XTABLE.HLP    -  help file for XTABLE.EXE
XTABLE.NDX    -  (also used with XTABLE.EXE)
SCANCODE.EXE  -  determines scan codes
KBTEST.EXE    -  tests changes made to KEYDEF.DAT
TRANSLAT.TXT  -  for foreign language support
KEYDEF.DOC    -  for further information
KEYBOARD.DOC  -  for further information

To enable the Shift-6 to send the ^ (caret) symbol, use XTABLE to modify
3270TERM.TBL and 3270PRNT.TBL translation table files.  Change the character
represented at 5F to ^.  The syntax for modifying the translation table
files is XTABLE 3270TERM.TBL.

To make the changes for the other keys, you must add keyboard information to
the first section of KEYDEF.DAT.  Enter 001a00b3 for the left bracket key to
produce the vertical bar.  Enter 001b009b for the right bracket to produce
the cents symbol.  Be sure to put a tab between each value:

  00        (tab)   1a                (tab)     00b3
  unshifted         scan code for "["           ASCII hex value for
                                                a solid vertical bar

  00        (tab)   1b                (tab)     009b
  unshifted         scan code for "]"           ASCII hex value for
                                                the cent character

For more information, see KEYBOARD.DOC, KEYDEF.DOC, and Appendix D of the
Maxess 1.3.0 3270 User Guide.

Use SCANCODE.EXE to determine the scan codes.  To figure out the
ASCII hex value, use XTABLE.EXE on 3270term.tbl.  Move the cursor to
the solid bar character (5F) and press Alt-H for Hex; then press Enter
and the hex value will appear.  Repeat the same procedure for
the cent character (4A).

Test the changes you have made to KEYDEF.DAT using KBTEST.  The
syntax is KBTEST KEYDEF.DAT.
