Re: Win32, Alt-Sysreq & Terminal Servers

I've only had a quick check, but it doesn't appear to have had any side effects.

I can report this fix does work with the wyse terminal (ICA) we use as well as 
via RDP.  Things still work fine with Win9x machines and WinXp machines.  I'll 
try to arrange for a fuller test sometime this week for someone who actually 
uses the OS/400 system day in day out.

Oh I see.

I haven't tried but I don't think the active x have the issue since the way the 
keyboard handling is done is quite different.

If you can verify that the modification as no side-effect, I can check-in it.
