Hello,  
  I was just catching up on code changes since I last looked at tn5250..
I noticed that the way that the NEW_ENVIRON request is handled doesn't quite
match RFC 1572.  It doesn't allow for the host to request just one type, or
just one variable.  It sends all variables that it knows about always, and 
it looks to me as if it throws away the rest of the IAC SB NEW-ENVIRON SEND
request.
  In practice, this probably doesn't affect anything, but one of these years
IBM is going to "enhance" the AS/400 server to be more "intelligent" about what
it wants to know :-0.
