Play, etc. For the most part the 5250 functions are indicated on the key cap in blue.

Attn

Sys Req

= Shift+Esc

key (above the Print key)

Erase Input =

There are also a couple of keyboard shortcuts that might come in handy.

Zoom in (bigger font) = Shift+Numpad+
Zoom out (smaller font) = Shift+Numpad-
Euro Symbol = Alt+e

If you are running a session in Text Terminal Mode (see Setup 5250 Sessions), there are
three more keyboard shortcuts that you may need to use:
Alt+R for Record Macro (start and stop)
Alt+P for Play Macro
Alt+c to get the cent sign (¢).

Should you wish to customize your keyboard mapping, you can use the mapping utility that is
built in to the MinIT 5250E. See Keyboard Settings for more information.
