Subject: 3270 ATTN key -- what does it generate?

Hello Usenet.Oracle...

We have a real nice X-windows 3270-style emulator here, but it has one
problem.....

It is talking through a Mitek gateway in tn3270 mode.  We have 95+%
functionality, but there is one glaring hole -- there is no code for an ATTN
key!

Needless to say, this is a problem.  We need this supported, as it's the
only way to do some things.

I can easily hack in the code to send the sequence(s) to the host, IF I know
what they are!  So far, I have been unable to determine this.

Any help appreciated greatly.... If someone knows just what is generated
when an ATTN key is pressed, that is probably enough.

Thanks!
