RE: Status messages

[Kevin Mohondro <kevin.mohondro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's not just your emulator. I use a break handling program to redirect
messages as status messages. In Client Access, the cursor position is also
disturbed. When the message is sent it moves the cursor back to the position
to it's previous position when last you had the computer's "attention"
(enter key, function key, etc). IBM usually comes out with a fix for it,
but, the break it again every time a new version of Client Access comes out.
