If I understand you correctly you are using the AS/400 TELNET client to connect 
and you would like 
to start your own attention program on the source AS/400 which was defined 
(either on your user 
profile or via SETATNPGM in you intial program) before you started TELNET.

In this case pressing the AS/400 attention key once brings up the AS/400 TELNET 
menu and pressing 
the attention key again from that menu should start your own attention handler. 
 This happens 
because the attention handler is invocation sensitive.

This is also how the attention handler works for the STR3270EML command (or did 
last time I used 
it).

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
