Output Strings for the Keyboard Mapping file

Terminfo definitions include the ASCII strings for output functions such as clear screen and cursor motion and are listed in the following table. The file does not include standard codes for defining colors and highlighting. The p3270keys file contains the character string for colors, highlights, or both.

p3270keys Name	Termcap ID	Function
blink	mb	Start blink
ce		Clear screen to end of line
cI		Clear screen
cm		Cursor motion
md		Start bold
reset	me	Ends a previous screen attribute or mode. For example stops bold, blink, or reverse fields.
reverse	so	Start stand out
underscore	us	Start underscore

The following table lists the key words to identify colors and highlights:

Note: When using monochrome terminals with applications that set color or other special attributes, modify the p3270keys file entry for that particular terminal to send NULL (00) characters instead of escape sequences.

Colors	Highlights
Blue Cyan Green Magenta Red White Yellow	Blink Normal Reverse Underscore

The following tables list the function and special keys available to use with generated applications. These tables also provide room to enter the specific keystrokes that correspond to the function, cursor movement, and special keys that correspond to your particular terminal. Print the tables and complete the tables for each type of terminal used with the IT or a generated application.
