Agree. The standard is TN5252e.

Our Trilobyte IP Client 5250 software (formerly Synapse IP Client written in C by Synapse engineers led by Joe Frank and remarketed under multiple different company labels) runs fine on V7R4.

"Started" on what? I *loved* WRQ Reflection (at least the version we had here at Touchtone), and considered it to be the gold standard for terminal emulation aesthetics. I remember it looking *exactly* like a *real InfoWindow II* terminal.

I should think that as long as your emulators are connected via TN5250 or TN5250e, they should be fine. All bets are off, however, if they're connected via some older IBM-proprietary protocol.
