TYPETEST termname 3278_keyboard_text

This command is provided for debugging a TYPE command. Instead of actually simulating the typing at a 3278 keyboard, the resulting keystrokes are returned as output lines, one for each key.

In the above example, the first (one-digit) field can be 0 for a normal key, 1 for a shifted key, or 2 for a key pressed while the ALT key is held down. The next (two-digit) field is the EPI scancode (an internal code useful only for debugging purposes.) The last field is the EPI host key name.
