  tn3270
  
     A program, similar to telnet, used to connect to remote
     IBM mainframe hosts, many of which do not understand
     telnet.  The program emulates a 3270-type terminal.
  
     For many tn3270 versions, the "clear screen" function is
     activated by typing Control-Z.  When logged on to an IBM host
     and "HOLDING" or "MORE..."  appears at the lower right corner
     of the screen, the "clear screen" function must be entered to
     display the next screen.  tn3270 emulations usually include
     function key definitions.
