I didn't know Client Access Express would do this. Have to try it next time I'm
trapped in my other OS...
When I try using tn5250 and the session is in use, the emulator just exits with no
errors or warnings. Much better than it hanging though. I'm using 0.15.8
release.

This method is much faster since it doesn't display the system request menu to the
user. If you don't know what option you need, press enter again to display the
menu. I agree that it is not a priority, but it would be nice (eases the
transitions when using other terminals or emulators.)
