Raju,
The HP3000 does not run Unix - its object programs are created for 
use by its own operating system:  MPE-iX.  It accepts input from the 
keyboard in 2 ways:  Character-mode (one field at a time transmitted 
by pressing the 'Return' key), using the COBOL 'ACCEPT' statement or 
a 'REED' intrinsic - or - Block mode (the entire screen at one time, 
after the user presses the 'Enter' key), which HP calls a ViewPlus 
application. Code for the Block mode type of operation is quite 
complex - there is probably some third-party code which simplifies 
this, but our code is very specific to the application.

To have some words appear on your screen as a prompt, the COBOL 
command is 'DISPLAY' - sample:
DISPLAY "Enter the first name: ".
ACCEPT WS-FIRST-NAME.

In WORKING-STORAGE, you would have a field set up as 01 
WS-FIRST-NAME      PIC X(20)  VALUE SPACES.  After the 'Accept' 
command, the field would contain whatever the user keyed in.

Access from another machine may be accomplished (depending on your 
firewall, security etc) using a Terminal Emulation product such as 
MS92 from Minisoft (http://www.minisoft.com) or Reflection 
(http://www.wrq.com).  We have used both of these from a Mac or a PC 
using Telnet.  There is a client program which resides on the PC, and 
another part that gets uploaded to your HP3000.

All the best,
Connie
