         Changes are immediately reflected on the active session.

       NOTE:
       ----
           Numeric Swapping is a 3270-only feature. This function will
           not be selectable if the session is an AS/400 session.

     -  File Transfer: When transferring files between the PC & the
        HOST, the available PC codepage is:
           o Codepage 864     : IBM PC Arabic Codepage

        The user must set the following parameters:
        1. The orientation of the HOST file.
           ---------------------------------
           The Host file can be Left-To-Right, or Right-To-Left. To set/reset
           the file orientation, mark/unmark the 'HostFileOrientation' box.
           - For Right-To-Left Host File Orientation, mark the 'HostFileOrientation'
             box.
           - For Left-To-Right Host File Orientation, unmark the 'HostFileOrientation'
             box.

        2. The orientation of the PC file.
           -------------------------------

        File Transfer.

     BIDIRECTIONAL KEYBOARD FUNCTIONS
     _________________________________

     1. Personal Communications/3270
     _________________________________

     This section describes the keys and functions that are unique to
     Bidirectional Personal Communications/3270.
     The key combinations of the bidirectional functions are identical to
     previous versions of PC/3270.

     The keys unique to Bidirectional Personal Communications/3270 are:

     o   Language selection

         This function is activated by the key combination "ALT + SHIFT".

         This function allows changing the language layer. If the language
         layer is Latin, by pressing 'ALT + RightShift' key combination the
         language layer will change to Arabic. If the language layer is
         Arabic, by pressing 'ALT + LeftShift' this key combination, the
         language layer will change to Latin.

     o   Screen Reverse

         This function is activated by the key combination "ALT + NewLine".

         This function reverses the screen image. If the screen orientation
         is Left-to-Right, by pressing this key combination the screen
         image will be reversed to Right-to-Left.  If the screen orien-
         tation is Right-to-Left, by pressing this key combination the
         screen image will be reversed to Left-to-Right.

         Note that the operator information area is not reversed by this
         operation.

         When the screen orientation is changed, the language layer is
         changed to the default language of the new screen orientation. If
         the screen is reversed to Right-to-Left, then the language is
         changed to Arabic.  If the screen is reversed to Left-to-Right,
         then the language is changed to Latin.

         If swapping of symmetric characters is enabled, the inversion of
         the screen causes directional characters to be replaced by their
         counterparts.

         If swapping of numeric characters is enabled, the inversion of the
         screen causes Hindi numerals to be replaced by their Arabic
         counterparts and the Arabic numerals to be replaced by their Hindi
         counterparts.

     o   Field Reverse

         This function is activated by the key combination "ALT + NumLock".

         This function toggles the field orientation to either opposite to
         or same as the Screen Orientation.  The text in the field is not
         inverted. The cursor orientation is set equal to the new field
         orientation and the language layer is selected accordingly.

         If the cursor was in the first logical position of a field or
         line, when selecting field reverse function, the cursor skips to
         the other side of that field or line, which now becomes the first
         logical position.  If the cursor was not in the first position of
         the field or line, when selecting field reverse function, the
         cursor remains in its position and allows natural and correct
         editing of existing text.

     o   Auto Field Reverse

         This function is activated by the key combination "ALT + NumPad
         5".

         This functions toggles the Auto Field Reverse mode for the current
         screen orientation.

         Auto Field Reverse affects the automatic selection of the field
         orientation of unprotected fields:

         -   When Auto Field Reverse is disabled, then upon initial entry
             to a field (whether numeric or alphameric), the field orien-
             tation is always set equal to the screen orientation.

         -   When Auto Field Reverse is enabled, then upon initial entry to
             an alphameric field, the field orientation will be set to
             Right-to-Left (for both Left-to_Right and Right-to-Left screen
             orientations).

         -   When Auto Field Reverse is enabled, then upon initial entry to
             a numeric field, the field orientation will be set to Left-to-
             Right (for both Left-to-Right and Right-to-Left screen orien-
             tations).

     o   Push/End Push

         This function is activated by the key combination "SHIFT +
         NumLock".

         This function allows entering and editing text whose direction is
         opposite to the field direction.

         When this function is activated, the cursor orientation is
         reversed and the language layer is changed accordingly and a Push
         segment is created.


         The PUSH function has two secondary modes:

         -   Boundary Mode: This mode is activated upon entering the PUSH
             mode.  In this mode, the cursor remains in its position, and
             typing of additional characters pushes the text in the
             direction opposed to the field direction.  To indicate this
             boundary mode, the cursor has a block shape.

         -   Edit Mode: This mode is activated when the cursor is moved
             from its boundary position into the PUSH SEGMENT area. In this
             mode, you can edit the text within the PUSH segment, while
             typing in the field's natural direction.

         END PUSH, activated by the "SHIFT+NumLock" key sequence, termi-
         nates the PUSH mode.

         END PUSH is activated by "SHIFT + Numpad /".

         The cursor jumps to the end of the PUSH segment, and its direction
         changes to the original direction.

         Can also End Push by pressing any field exit keys (e.g. cursor up,
         down) or an AID key (e.g. enter...)

     o   AutoPush

         This function is activated by the key combination "ALT + NumPad
         /".

         This function assists the terminal operator in typing mixed Left-
         to-Right and Right-to-Left text. When enabled, reversed segments
         are automatically initiated and terminated, according to the
         entered character or the selected language layer. Thus, this mode
         relieves the operator from manually pressing Push, as it is auto-
         matically invoked.

         -   In Right-to-Left fields:

             Typing a digit or a Latin letter, causes the automatic initi-
             ation of Push, without language change. Further Latin or
             digits will continue the Push mode, any other character will
             cause automatic termination of the mode.

             This allows the user to type Arabic text with imbedded numbers
             or Latin words without using Push/End Push.

         -   In Left-to-Right fields:

             Typing an Arabic character or special causes the automatic
             initiation of Push, without language change. Any digit, or
             Latin character causes the automatic termination of the mode.


        This allows the user to type Latin text with imbedded Arabic
        words using language layer selection rather than Push/End
        Push.


     ARABIC CHARACTER SHAPE SELECTION FUNCTIONS
     __________________________________________

     There are 5 shape selection keys: one for Contextual Shape Determi-
     nation (CSD), and 4 for Specific Shaping modes (Base/Isolated,
     Initial, Middle, Final).

     The default Shaping Mode is CSD.

     The keys unique to BiDi Personal Communications/3270 are:

     o   Contextual Shape Determination (CSD) key

         Pressing this key sets the Shaping mode to Contextual Shape Deter-
         mination (CSD), which is the default. Note that contextual shape
         determination is performed only for Right-to-Left text entered or
         modified by the operator.

         This key toggles between CSD and Base mode.

         Pressing any of the Specific shape selection keys disables CSD.

         The character "Alef-Madda" in the operator information area indi-
         cates that CSD is selected.

         This function is initiated by the key combination "ALT + NumPad 4".

     o   Specific Shape Selection keys:

         -   Base/Isolated: initiated by the key combination " ALT + NumPad 2".

         -   Initial: initiated by the key combination " ALT + NumPad 1".

         -   Middle: initiated by the key combination " ALT + NumPad 7".

         -   Final: initiated by the key combination " ALT + NumPad 8".

         Pressing one of the above keys disables CSD, and sets shaping mode
         to the selected value. Arabic letters typed from then on will have
         the selected shape.

         Note:  Some Arabic characters do not have Middle, Initial or Final
         shapes.  In this case, if the user enters one of those characters
         where the requested shape does not exist, then the closest shape
         will be selected according to the following rules:

         1.  Instead of Initial - Isolated will be selected.

         2.  Instead of Final   - Isolated will be selected.

         3.  Instead of Middle  - Final (if exists), or Isolated will be
             selected.

         The selected Shaping Mode is shown in the operator information
         area:

         -   Isolated "GHEIN": indicates Base/Isolated Shaping Mode.

         -   Initial "GHEIN" : indicates Initial Shaping Mode.

         -   Middle "GHEIN"  : indicates Middle Shaping Mode.

         -   Final "GHEIN"   : indicates Final Shaping Mode.

     o   Field Shape key

         Pressing this key causes the shaping of the Arabic data present in
         the current field/line. The cursor position remains unchanged.

     o   Field De-Shape key

         This key de-shapes the Arabic data present in the current
         field/line.  All Arabic letters are converted to their
         Base/Isolated shapes.




     2. Personal Communications AS/400
     ___________________________________

     This section describes the keys and functions that are unique to
     Bidirectional Personal Communications AS/400

     The keys unique to Bidirectional Personal Communications AS/400 are:

     o   Language selection

         This function is activated by the key combination "ALT + SHIFT".

         This function allows changing the language layer. If the language
         layer is Latin, by pressing 'ALT + RightShift' key combination the
         language layer will change to Arabic. If the language layer is
         Arabic, by pressing 'ALT + LeftShift' this key combination, the
         language layer will change to Latin.

     o   Screen Reverse

         This function is activated by the key combination "ALT + NewLine".

         This function reverses the screen image. If the screen orientation
         is Left-to-Right, by pressing this key combination the screen
         image will be reversed to Right-to-Left.  If the screen orien-
         tation is Right-to-Left, by pressing this key combination the
         screen image will be reversed to Left-to-Right.

         Note that the operator information area is not reversed by this
         operation.

         When the screen orientation is changed, the language layer is
         changed to the default language of the new screen orientation. If
         the screen is reversed to Right-to-Left, then the language is
         changed to Arabic.  If the screen is reversed to Left-to-Right,
         then the language is changed to Latin.

         The inversion of the screen causes directional characters to be
         replaced by their counterparts.


     o   Field Reverse

         This function is activated by the key combination "Ctrl + NumLock".

         This function toggles the field orientation to either Left-to-Right
         or Right-to-Left.  The text in the field is not inverted. The cursor
         orientation is set equal to the new field orientation and the
         language layer is selected accordingly.

         If the cursor was in the first logical position of a field or
         line, when selecting field reverse function, the cursor skips to
         the other side of that field or line, which now becomes the first
         logical position.  If the cursor was not in the first position of
         the field or line, when selecting field reverse function, the
         cursor remains in its position and allows natural and correct
         editing of existing text.

     o   Close

         This function is activated by the key combination "NumPad /".

         This function is provided so that the data entered in one keying
         direction can be concatenated with the data that was previously
         entered in the opposite direction.
         It operates as follows:

         - All embedded Nulls are removed from the current line.
         - Concatenated text is moved to the right bound of the field (if the
           field direction is right-to-left) or to the left bound (if the
           field direction is left-to-right).
         - The cursor direction is set to the field direction
         - The language layer is set to the default for the field direction
         - If the cursor position is now Left-to-Right, the cursor is
           positioned at the first null to the right of the concatenated text.
         - If the cursor poistion is now Right-to_left, the cursor is
           positioned at the first null to the left of the concatenated text.

     o   BASE

         This function is activated by the key combination "Ctrl + Home".

         The "BASE" key is a toggle key that activates/deactivates the
         Automatic Shape determination function for Arabic RTL text.
         It is valid only when processing RTL Arabic text. If it is
         pressed in a LTR field an operator error 0027 is resulted.



     OPERATOR INFORMATION AREA INDICATORS
     ____________________________________

     In the Host session the bottom line of the screen is called the Oper-
     ator Information Area (OIA). This line is always displayed from Left-

     BIDIRECTIONAL KEYBOARD FUNCTIONS
     _________________________________

     Personal Communications/3270 keyboard
     _____________________________________

     This section describes the keys and functions that are unique to
     Bidirectional Personal Communications/3270.
     The key combinations of the bidirectional functions are identical to
     previous versions of PC/3270.

     The keys unique to Bidirectional Personal Communications/3270 are:

     o   Language selection

         This function is activated by the key combination "ALT + SHIFT".

         This function allows changing the language layer. If the language
         layer is Latin, by pressing 'ALT + RightShift' key combination the
         language layer will change to Hebrew. If the language layer is
         Hebrew, by pressing 'ALT + LeftShift', the language layer will
         change to Latin.
            Note that switching the Language layer, the screen direction
         remains unchanged.

     o   Screen Reverse

         This function is activated by the key combination "ALT + NewLine".

         This function reverses the screen image. If the screen orientation
         is Left-to-Right, by pressing this key combination the screen
         image will be reversed to Right-to-Left.  If the screen orien-
         tation is Right-to-Left, by pressing this key combination the
         screen image will be reversed to Left-to-Right.

         Note that the operator information area is not reversed by this
         operation.

         When the screen orientation is changed, the language layer is
         changed to the default language of the new screen orientation. If
         the screen is reversed to Right-to-Left, then the language is
         changed to Hebrew.  If the screen is reversed to Left-to-Right,
         then the language is changed to Latin.

     o   Field Reverse

         This function is activated by the key combination "ALT + NumLock".

         This function toggles the field orientation to either opposite to
         or same as the Screen Orientation.  The text in the field is not
         inverted. The cursor orientation is set equal to the new field
         orientation and the language layer is selected accordingly.

         If the cursor was in the first logical position of a field or
         line, when selecting field reverse function, the cursor skips to
         the other side of that field or line, which now becomes the first
         logical position.  If the cursor was not in the first position of
         the field or line, when selecting field reverse function, the
         cursor remains in its position and allows natural and correct
         editing of existing text.

     o   Auto Field Reverse

         This function is activated by the key combination "ALT + NumPad 5".

         This functions toggles the Auto Field Reverse mode for the current
         screen orientation.

         Auto Field Reverse affects the automatic selection of the field
         orientation of unprotected fields:

         -   When Auto Field Reverse is disabled, then upon initial entry
             to a field (whether numeric or alphameric), the field orien-
             tation is always set equal to the screen orientation.

         -   When Auto Field Reverse is enabled, then upon initial entry to
             an alphameric field, the field orientation will be set to
             Right-to-Left (for both Left-to_Right and Right-to-Left screen
             orientations).

         -   When Auto Field Reverse is enabled, then upon initial entry to
             a numeric field, the field orientation will be set to Left-to-
             Right (for both Left-to-Right and Right-to-Left screen orien-
             tations).

     o   Push/End Push

         This function is activated by the key combination "SHIFT +
         NumLock".

         This function allows entering and editing text whose direction is
         opposite to the field direction.

         When this function is activated, the cursor orientation is
         reversed and the language layer is changed accordingly and a Push
         segment is created.


         The PUSH function has two secondary modes:

         -   Boundary Mode: This mode is activated upon entering the PUSH
             mode.  In this mode, the cursor remains in its position, and
             typing of additional characters pushes the text in the
             direction opposed to the field direction.  To indicate this
             boundary mode, the cursor has a block shape.

         -   Edit Mode: This mode is activated when the cursor is moved
             from its boundary position into the PUSH SEGMENT area. In this
             mode, you can edit the text within the PUSH segment, while
             typing in the field's natural direction.

         END PUSH, activated by the "SHIFT+NumLock" key sequence, termi-
         nates the PUSH mode.

         The cursor jumps to the end of the PUSH segment, and its direction
         changes to the original direction.

         End Push is also induced by pressing any field exit keys
         (e.g. cursor up, down) or an AID key (e.g. enter...)

     o   AutoPush

         This function is activated by the key combination "ALT + NumPad /".

         The AutoPush mode makes work easier and more efficient when typing
         mixed text - Hebrew and English. This mode is especially useful
         for typing digits in Hebrew fields (right-to-left fields).
         In this mode, the PUSH and END PUSH functions are automatically
         activated according to the language of the text being typed.
         This way, you don't have to worry about activating and terminating
         the PUSH mode manually.

     Personal Communications AS/400 keyboard
     _______________________________________

     This section describes the keys and functions that are unique to
     Bidirectional Personal Communications AS/400.

     The keys unique to Bidirectional Personal Communications AS/400 are:

     o   Language selection

         This function is activated by the key combination "ALT + SHIFT".

         This function allows changing the language layer. If the language
         layer is Latin, by pressing 'ALT + RightShift' key combination the
         language layer will change to Hebrew. If the language layer is
         Hebrew, by pressing 'ALT + LeftShift', the language layer will
         change to Latin.

     o   Screen Reverse

         This function is activated by the key combination "ALT + NewLine".

         This function reverses the screen image. If the screen orientation
         is Left-to-Right, by pressing this key combination the screen
         image will be reversed to Right-to-Left.  If the screen orien-
         tation is Right-to-Left, by pressing this key combination the
         screen image will be reversed to Left-to-Right.

         Note that the operator information area is not reversed by this
         operation.

         When the screen orientation is changed, the language layer is
         changed to the default language of the new screen orientation. If
         the screen is reversed to Right-to-Left, then the language is
         changed to Hebrew.  If the screen is reversed to Left-to-Right,
         then the language is changed to Latin.

     o   Reverse

         This function is activated by the key "NumLock".

         This function toggles the field orientation to either Left-to-Right
         or Right-to-Left.  The text in the field is not inverted. The cursor
         orientation is set equal to the new field orientation and the
         language layer is selected accordingly.

         If the cursor was in the first logical position of a field or
         line, when selecting field reverse function, the cursor skips to
         the other side of that field or line, which now becomes the first
         logical position.  If the cursor was not in the first position of
         the field or line, when selecting field reverse function, the
         cursor remains in its position and allows natural and correct
         editing of existing text.

     o   Close

         This function is activated by the key combination "NumPad /".

         This function is provided so that the data entered in one keying
         direction can be concatenated with the data that was previously
         entered in the opposite direction.
         It operates as follows:

         - All embedded Nulls are removed from the current line.
         - Concatenated text is moved to the right bound of the field (if the
           field direction is right-to-left) or to the left bound (if the
           field direction is left-to-right).
         - The cursor direction is set to the field direction.
         - The language layer is set to the default for the field direction.
         - If the cursor position is now Left-to-Right, the cursor is
           positioned at the first null to the right of the concatenated text.
         - If the cursor poistion is now Right-to_left, the cursor is
           positioned at the first null to the left of the concatenated text.
