I don't think so. There is certainly no "^" character on any 3270-type keyboard that I have ever used, and I cannot find a "^" character on any copy of the familiar IBM "System/370 Reference Summary" that I have. "Shift-6" (the usual location of "^") is the EBCDIC NOT sign (sort of a hyphen with a tail). Carrington Dixon UUCP: { convex, killer }!mic!d25001
