I didn't follow this thread, so please pardon me if this has been said before.
In case you know some text that will always appear on the screen you're waiting for, you can code something like this in your macro: [wait app] wait 10 seconds until "TN3270 - Mainframe Telnet Server" goto macroend on timeout [wait inp inh] ... ... :macroend exit This sequence waits for the quoted text to appear on the screen and then waits for the keyboard to unlock. If the text does not appear whithin the timelimit (10s), then the macro will stop.
