Shmuel You have objected to something I wrote by taking it out of context. The quoted text is taken from a review of the "NextGen 3270" material referenced by Edward Jaffe in the post to which I was responding. This is all about having the dimensions configured using 3270 emulator (or simulator as you prefer) functions.
What you are telling us is very interesting but concerns the use of the dimension fields in the BIND request.
