Jason, I too manage all of our AIX servers from OS X and have had no problem with using VI on the Mac side. To get into insert mode you just hit 'I' and 'esc' to get into command mode. But if you are using emacs or something else, I'm just talking out my fanny.

This may seem trivial, but it drives me nuts....
I administer my TSM servers from a Mac OS X box via the built in terminal program. The "Insert" key on a mac is marked "Help" and doesn't put the command line editor into insert mode (doesn't give much in the way of help either, but I digress). This is a real pain when the lines you are inputting are anything more than a few characters long.
So, my question is.. is there a way to send an insert key sequence from a mac or, failing that, get the editor to default to insert mode (like it should ;-) )
Thanks for any help on this!
Jason - Try doing Ctrl+Help to effect an Insert keystroke, to toggle insertion on and off.

Thanks for responding Richard, but that doesn't seem to work either. Bummer.

Yup, that's no problem.. the issue is using the line editor inside dsmadmc. I *wish* there was a key sequence like in vi rather than having to use the dreaded insert key.
Thanks
Jason
