If I understand you correctly you are using the AS/400 TELNET client to 
connect

Correct.

and you would like
to start your own attention program on the source AS/400 which was defined 
(either on your user
profile or via SETATNPGM in you intial program) before you started TELNET.

No. What I want to do is send an ATTENTION key to the host I am connecting 
to.

In this case pressing the AS/400 attention key once brings up the AS/400 
TELNET menu

Correct.

and pressing
the attention key again from that menu should start your own attention 
handler.

Or, in my case, the default: AS400 Operational Assistant.

 This happens
because the attention handler is invocation sensitive.

This is also how the attention handler works for the STR3270EML command (or 
did last time I used
it).

Pressing the Attention key when running 3270 emulation brings up the 
"Select 3270 Emulation Option for SNA" menu. Pressing Attention again 
brings up your attention program, as you say, which in my case is again 
Operational Assistant. What I want to do with TELNET is the same as option 
5 from the "Select 3270 Emulation Option for SNA" menu: "5. 3270 Attn key - 
Request for permission to send"


Thanks.

Dave
