This was from a discussion in the non-tech list... OV/400 Most interesting to me is how IBM did word wrap. It's my understanding that this was code impliemented in the workstation controller. I never saw any 5250 data stream commands to access this, so I assume there was some other undocumented interface. Does anyone know more about this ?
