Mark, Probably the easiest way to get fullscreen support while using an Amiga connected to your host is to pick up a good VT100 emulation package (I use Diga! myself) and dial into SIM3278. When SIM3278 prompts you for terminal id enter VT100 (by the way a response of ? will show you all supported terminal types). After you receive your host's LOGON screen, type #HELP to get a list of which VT100 keys correspond to which 3270 keys – after that just LOGON and work as you would on a 3270. Simware supplies user documentation with their package so you might want to get a copy of it from your computer librarian to make life easier. If you need anymore help just leave me a msg and I'll get back to you. Steve P.S. If you want to try something interesting on your 3270 try typing DIAL SIM3278 instead of LOGON – you'll be connected to the multiple session manager (type #GOTO to see all sessions) which allows up to 12 logons from the same 3270 at the same time (different userids of course).
