The IBM3151 terminal emulation has an insert mode that allows the host system to place text anywhere on screen, shifting all other characters on that line to the right. It can also send a Delete character (ASCII 127) to delete the character at the current cursor location. This shifts the remaining text on the line to the left.
Currently no Century Software, Inc., product handles this appropriately. Instead, they display the “small house” character at that location, throwing the alignment for the line off.

The optional ~/.ssh/config file allows users to configure server by alias, include the username, and set many other options. Connecting to a host system via this locally-stored file speeds up the process. Century Software, Inc., has received a request to implement support for this on the Mac.

When using a hardware keyboard with TinyTERM ITX 3270 for iPad, either via dock or Bluetooth, the Enter key on the keyboard acts as a Return key. Century Software, Inc., has had a request to add a switch that would allow the option of using the Enter key as a 3270 Enter key instead.

The TN3270 emulator in PIXIL Thin Client supports printer LUs. However, there is no user interface for that option. It must be run at a command line instead:

The Wyse60 terminal supports both a standard and extended status line at the top of the screen. Either shows a system clock and the cursor position by row and column. The extended status line also supports a custom message.
TinyTERM currently supports only the unshifted label line at the bottom of the Wyse60 screen. Century Software, Inc., has had a request to add support for the status line also.
