hi Richard, Assuming you are automating this process, and don't need any sort of UI... is there a reason why you can't use VT100 emulation? It's much simpler to code than 5250. It's not as nice for the user, but if you have no interactive user, that's probably a non-issue. The Telnet server on IBM i does support VT100 directly. If you can't do that, then you are probably going to be writing your own terminal object that interfaces with the lib5250 code. It's not REALLY that hard, but without any good examples or documentation, it'll probably be an uphill climb for you.
