Are you running X11 or strictly the linux console?  If the latter, there 
is a console map file called us5250.map included in the tn5250 
distribution which you can load using the "loadkeys" command.  There a 
short paragraph describing this in the tn5250 HOWTO 
(http://www.chowhouse.com/~james/tn5250-HOWTO.pdf) on page 9.

if you want to understand why that is, there are many good books on
the design of operating systems. please pass them along to redmond
when you're done reading them :)
