I haven't a clue. The machine is running AIX. None of my terminal emulators
seem to work properly with it (ANSI, V100, etc). I am thinking it's either 3270
of 5250...but that doesn't necesarrily jive because I can read the data and it
appears, in most cases, to be going to where I expected it to be on the screen
repleat with colors, column positioning, etc. I just see extra characters that
seem to be indicating some type of field structure....but I'm not sure.
It was hoped that somebody would recognize the protocol and be able to provide
assistance.

There is nothing wrong my emulators, they work fine on everything else I've ever
logged into. And, yes V100 was a typo. This protocol is not something I have
seen before. Heck, it may be application specific (a DOS based client from IBM
was supplied). But, again, I'm not sure.

I don't think the remote machine will actualy let me enter this command. I am
given prompts and it doesn't seem that I am allowed to enter my own commands.
What is confusing me the most is that it seems form driven yet still appears like
an ANSI terminal.
