You have to find out what type of terminal your Mac program emulates, find the right termcap or terminfo (whichever your version of Informix uses) name for it and set up that when you log in from the Mac. If there is no appropriate entry you will have to create one. Also be aware that Informix 4GL requires a different definition of functionkeys from the normal. They are offset by 1 (F1 is k0 in termcap). If you don't know how termcap or terminfo work you must check your Unix manuals.
