Re: Configuring keyboard wedges

["Jim Franz" <franz400@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Some that I worked with (long ago) you could pretty much program any pc 
keyboard action. We were filling a 5250 screen of order numbers so we chose 
the "tab" to move the cursor to the next field. The user pressed ENTER when 
done. Even if a single field on a 5250 screen, you would need a field exit 
or enter (because your scanner needs to act like a keyboard.).
