Because TN5250-E allows a user Id and password to be sent during the 
initial option negotiation phase. If the client does that then the exit 
program will receive the values. I don't know how a Telnet exit program 
gets invoked after device initialisation (other than the termination 
exit point but that's too late). Perhaps you could use the job start 
exit point or perhaps the later releases have a Telnet Signon exit 
point. I don't have time to check.
