Jim,

It's been too long . . . most of those brain cells either gave up the
ghost or have been put to other uses.  But I have this vague
recollection of typing a period ('.') and then hitting the <enter> key,
perhaps doing that twice.

The ASCII Workstation Controller manual is in the IBM On-Line Library
under V3R2, but I didn't notice anything there that would help you.
