Re: PC5250 not accepting input

Mark,
I have had this happen for a very long time (very occasionally), and am 
starting to get a few more.  We are thinking it has do with users 
getting dual screens, and are switching apps more frequently. Some of 
the users said that they had been away from their session for several 
minutes, and when they switched back, the key functions were gone.
I just had a service call with IBM last week on this. We wound up 
re-installing Client access on those users machines (COMPLETE 
UN-INSTALL, REINSTALL).

Of course, since this happens very infrequently, it may take a few weeks 
to see if that takes care of the problem.
