I've successfully installed x3270 on Solaris. In addition I've successfully established a 5250 connection to the AS400. But I've an issue. I can't page through multiple OS400 screens. The x3270 keypad has no paging option nor can I page using the PageUp and PageDown keys on my keyboard. What must I do?
 
You're using terminal emulation. You emulate the keys which are present on the original terminals. As far as I know 3270 and 5250 terminals have no PageUp/PageDown keys. Remember the "good old" SAA spec's from IBM? Try F7 to emuate PF7 on 3270 or cmd7 on 5250. The same for F8.

What do you mean by 'cmd7'?

If cmd7 is just AS400 speak for F7 then it doesn't work. What must I do to get page up/down on my Sun until I do I ccan't use it for a green screen 5250 session.
