I think it was the 5292 screen, (not to be confused with the green screen 
5291).  The 5252 screen is not supported on the 400.  The 5252 didn't support 
a 24 line screen and looked like two terminals attached back to back.  This 
way you could have rows of people working across from each other doing heads 
down keying.  Probably the inspiration for the unionization of offices.

You need to have the right device type. (5252 ??) I cant remember exactly what
it is but the manual can tell you.  Its the old IBM colour screens (sometimes 
people think the AS400 was only green screen, this is not so) anyway the IBM
colour monitors were horribly expensive, we had one I think.  Some of the OLD
emulators supported the colour monitor and so GDDM worked on them but u had to
configure them a bit different.  I have for some time tried to find an
emulator in Client Access and others that supports the old colour monitors but
without success as we have a graphing application done in GDDM that no one can
use.  The users switched to downloadind the data into MS Excel. Good luck.
