Wow!  It's been a long time since I tried it, Joep!  My old 5250 Model
12 certainly didn't support type-ahead, but I went and checked on my
Lynk terminal (I only use dumb terminals for my console) and you're
asboslutely right - type-ahead is supported!  Thanks for setting the
record straight!

Thank you kindly.  I'm glad to help!
