Thank you... looks good.

Okay, this is what happens on my IBM 3179-2 terminal:
1) I hit SysReq..
2) the terminal gives me a little line of underlines to type an option
on. (this was never implemented in tn5250, and IMHO isn't important)
3) I hit enter.
4) It gives me the SysReq menu.
5) I hit SysReq again.
6) it gives me another little line of underlines to type an option.
7) doesnt matter what I type next, be it text, or just enter, or a number,
or even garbage characters, it'll ignore it and put me back to the
SysReq menu that I was already sitting on.
Rumba/2000 under Win98 exhibits the same behavior as the IBM 3179-2
does.
This is what tn5250 does:
1) I hit Ctrl-C for SysReq (or whatever key I have mapped to SysReq)
2) It brings up the SysReq menu as expected.
3) I hit Ctrl-C again (or I can also hit Ctrl-A for Attn to get the
same fun-filled results)
4) the "X SYSTEM" indicator goes on, and then it just sits there til
I close the emulator. ("the emulator hangs")
In either case, whether you hit SysReq from the SysReq menu, or whether
you hit Attn, it should just "ignore" it. (But I dont know if its the
emulator ignoring it or the AS/400)
I don't consider this a huge issue, since there is no practical reason
to hit SysReq on that menu :) But its still a bug...
If any kinds of traces will help, let me know...
