I'm begging your indulgence to help with a little poll to understand which
TN3270 emulators have these two capabilities:

For example, here is mine:

Product: x3270
- Can select screen text and copy to clipboard: yes ( <select> /
<cntrl-c> )
- Has function to save screen as a text file: yes (File / Save screen
text in file )

Your responses would be appreciated.

IBM Personal Communications (aka PCOMM) does both of those things. The save screen function is:

File / Print Screen Collection / Collect Screen

Passport, from Rocket Software, can do both. The save to file feature lets
you do multiple screen prints and then save them to one file if you like.

There is "Save to disk" and "Save to disk ask" on the file menu.
"ask" seems to default to a .txt file. I've never used it.

I am trying to send keystrokes from Microsoft Foxpro to QWS3270, the only one I am having a problem with is to save the screen to the clipboard. I remapped F5 to paste to clipboard but when I Sendkey('@5') it says unsupported function. Can you help? fred_k...@hotmail.com
