I'm not an Extra user but a 3270 emulation user, but I do remember that there were some versions of Extra that did not work. They were old versions, but corporations often use old versions of 3270 emulation. What version is being used?
WRQ and Attachmate have merged, the maker of Reflection and Extra, and the latest version of Reflection seems to work with a bit of work. However, finding a different older version of Extra might be the best if the version is the problem. On Thu, 02 Apr 2009 15:14:50 -0400, Michael D.
