Re: learning PL/1 --

Changing the codepage alone will not make the PL/I special characters
display or print.   The 3270 emulator has to get the correct code for
the key into the system.   As presented below, the autohotkey can do the
same thing.  It really is a matter of personal preference.

I use Vista3270 and I mapped <shift-6> to be the "not" key.
