Also set the blink rate to the maximum. I have mine set to 120.
Thanks, William

Nancy,
I use 3270 emulation but do not use attachmate. However, I do remember that
JFW was greatly affected by the
"cursor shape". This is a setting within Attachmate that controls whether
the cursorr is an underline, a block, or a
vertical line. There is also a cross-hair cursor that underlines the
current line and has a vertical line along the column
of data. As I recall, JFW needs the underline or the vertical line cursor
to work right. Also, try maximizing the window.
Finally, the cursor needs to be blinking which is also a setting within
Attachmate. A nonblinking cursor will not be
tracked. There will likely need to be modifications of the script for newer
versions, but it shouldn't be complicated.
Best regards,
Steve Jacobson
