[NFBCS] 3270 emulation success

[Steve Jacobson]

Tracy,

Can you describe what you mean when you say you can't insert text?  You probably know this, but sometimes if there is already data in a field and you need to insert additional data, you need to clear spaces after the last nonblank character out by deleting them or pressing the key that clears the rest of the field.  If you don't know what I am talking about, I can try to get the specific name of the 3270 key that does this.  Also, if you simply can't get into INSERT mode, you may need to press the JAWS bypass key, JAWS KEY 3, to pass the insert key through.  

Best regards,

Steve

With help from Glen Gordon, I was able to get 3270 emulation to work well
with Jaws on Windows 10.  

The answer was to get the latest version of the emulator, the latest version
of Jaws, and then figure out the necessary settings.For Hummingbird Host
Explorer, the settings that are working for me are:

Set Windows resolution and scale to 1920 X 1080, 150%.

In the emulator, set cursor to blinking vertical bar.

Set font to he_bitmap, size 16X35.

Under Options, Session Properties, Display, set to ignore blinking
attribute.  I only need this to make cursor routing on the braille display
work.

 

I am still not able to insert text on a line, but everything else works
great.  I expect it's some profile or emulator setting, but haven't figured
it out yet, and it's not a deal-breaker.

 

Many thanks to Glen for his help and moral support.

Tracy
