So, just how difficult is it to write a program like this?  On the
surface, it would appear to be fairly simple, if you know where the 5250
flag is and how to change it.  Maybe another chapter for your e-book,
Leif?

Also, I noted that from their website that this runs only at V4R3 or
higher.  Is this 5250 flag new to that release?
