MacDFT v1.1: Doesn‘t Support IBM Entry Assist Function
Turning Document mode on enable's IBM's Entry Assist function. This feature works with several IBM host editors to provide limited local-formatting, entry, and edit control.
The key sequence that initiates this on a 3278 Model 2 terminal is "Alt-Blank" (on the MacDFT keyboard layout this is "Alt-CR POS"). Also, I have seen this function implemented on a PS/2 Model 60 using IRMA DFT.
I need to know if I can imitiate this function. However, I cannot get into Document mode, because I am already showing "Alt-CR POS" in the key position that produces this function on a 3278 terminal.
MacDFT 1.1 does not support IBM's Entry Assist function. If this functionality is needed, we suggest investigating DCA's MacIrma product, because it is likely to provide features similar to those found in their DOS products.
