I have tried the emulator with the SSP as a guest of OS/400 and you
are correct, it fails.  I don't know what datastream is being sent but
it fails in the following cases:

On a prompted command, e.g.  HELP SAVE.  Fill in the form and hit
"Enter" and you will get an error message.  In OCL where i used the //
PROMPT statement to produce a screen similar to SSPs help screen I
have the same problem.  The command line seems to work correctly most
of the time.  I didn't take time to investigae the problem as  I don't
have to do this very often and when I do I simply use a 'doze box with
Client Access.
