Pasting multiple lines into an xt5250 session

[Martin Rowe <jamaro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I can copy multiple lines from an xt5250 session and paste them into a text 
editor fine. If I try to paste the same lines into an xt5250 screen the 
emulator puts in the first line then acts as if Enter had been pressed, so the 
AS/400 processes just the one line that's been pasted. This might be copying an 
SQL statement from an interactive SQL session from one AS/400 to another, or a 
command on the command entry screen. 

If I paste into a screen that doesn't try and process the input, I just get the 
first line, with bits of the last copied line tagged on at the end.

I'm assuming this is an xt5250 issue, as multi-line pasting into vim running in 
an xterm works fine.

Regards, Martin

Off Topic: 

I've written a suite of AS/400 routines for use by our IT department to make 
setting up test data a bit easier. It analyses a program(s), puts copies of all 
required files into a nominated library, then builds a script to populate that 
library from existing data. You can extract whole copies, or just a subset of 
the data as required. The script supports SQL, but you don't need SQL installed 
to run it (uses QMQRY). There's also a general purpose documentation system in 
there as well.

I've been given the go ahead to publish this under the GPL, and I'd appreciate 
any advice from those on the list that have done this sort of thing. If anyone 
is interested in knowing more, then please email me.
