Hi Mike,

Some time ago, I sent on the list:

In fact, what I meant is that I can explain (the way I understand it myself,
there is no,
strictly speaking, official doc on tn5250 about it) how to implement that
behavior
of a real terminal. So if you care to implement it, I'll give you the
details ...
