questions about tn3270 on the Iris 4D's

John,
I picked up the tn3270 stuff from your system and with only a minimal amount of
effort, was able to get it running on all of the Iris 4D's (including the
Personal Iris). I have a couple of questions about it.
1) When I call the tn3270 program from a "toolchest" type window, using
"wsh -blah -blah -c /usr/local/bin/tn3270 hostname"
Everything works just fine except that when I press the "delete" key on
the middle section of keys, the window is aborted due to a bad key mapping
(or unexpected interrupt). However, if I just do "tn3270 hostname" from
the command line, this problem does not exist. Any ideas on where to look??
2) What exactly is the deal with the PF9-PF12 keys? I don't understand what
is meant by "alternate keyboard mapping" as referenced in the wsh(1) man
page. I guess you must have had to deal with this when you ported the
stuff to the Iris's and decided that it was too much of a pain to try to
get PF9-PF12 working.. do you remember why you didn't map the functions
directly?
3) I have a tar(1) format file which includes an Iris 4D-specific Makefile
along with the source which we use to compile "tn3270", if you or anyone
else would like a copy of it.
4) Great job with the port. The program works beautifully.
