for ACS when this happens, I press the <insert> key then paste.

Occasionally I need to paste more text into a 5250 commmad line than will fit on the current line. The entry field (e.g. standard menu CLI) wraps to a new line so there is plenty of total space just not on one line. The issue is HOW the wrap occurs. Effectively it pasts into a box. Thus it looks this way:

===> Text_is_pasted_here_but_when_it_rolls_over_to_the_next_line_on_t
_____he_screen_it_leaves_a_blank._Here_it_broke_the_into_t______he.

I have figured out how to get it to stop at the end of the first line. Not useful.

What I can't figure out is how to get it to paste as DeadNav and the old emulator did where it would come out like this:

===> Text_is_pasted_here_but_and_when_it_rolls_over_to_the_next_lin
e_all_looks_good._No_break_in_the_text_and_all_space_is_used.

Does anyone know the secret combination to enable the use of the entire field and not paste into a 'box'?
