. . . QShell switches back to 5250 mode . . .

Uh, it's never *not* in "5250 mode." It's never even simulating a "glass teletype" (the 5250 data stream has some poorly-documented, largely forgotten, "WP-mode" features that might allow for a pretty faithful simulation of, say, a VT100 or ADM-1) and it's much more 5250-idiomatic than the screen you see when a C program does puts/gets/printf in a terminal session.

What it switches into when entering QShell is something (not sure if it's a display file, a panel group, or a user-defined data stream) that's visually not all that different from what you get when you "CALL QCMD" (same parenthetical note applies), except that it uses 132-column mode, if available. And what it switches back on exiting QShell, it simply switches back to whatever display file record, panel group panel, or user-defined data stream you were in when you entered QShell.
