Hi,
How can I map my key board to MVS Editor? What I mean is, if I would like to copy a text/ paste, when I say Cntl+c or Cntl+v - its not allowing me to do that. I heard we have to map our key board for those commands to work. But i don't know How can I do that.

Can any body help in that matter

Hello,

I'd suggest you talk with your network or vtam support people.

Dependnig on which 3270-emulator you are using, you may or may not be able to copy/paste to/from other windows apps. You may or may not be able to copy/paste within the emulator. Ther are many emulators and there are many ways they operate.

If you are going to try on your own without help from your support people, i'd suggest you first look at the Help available with your emulator. If copy/paste is supported, the Help should mention how this works.

Keep in mind that the control sequences you posted are standard windows features and not part of the emulator.

In the Help, they had just given how t use the icons on the tool bar. They didn't mention any control keys. I would like to use the control keys instead of mouse.
Ok, I will ask my network people how can I do that.

Thanks and Regards,
Lakshmi

As i mentioned earlier, things like Ctrl-C are a function of Windows. If the Windows application (your emulator) conforms to the way many/most Windows apps perform, you will be able to copy/paste using the std shortcuts. They could have chosen to not support this. One of the emulators i've used did not support copy/paste at all - their rationale was that a "real" 3270 did not do this and their emulator would not either. I do hope such is not your case. . .
