Okay, it seems broke to me, Jonathon.  I can't see anything you've done
wrong.  But just to weed out the REALLY extraneous possibilities, have you:

1. Tried this on a dumb green screen terminal (to factor out the emulator).

2. Tried this on another PC (to factor out the keyboard).

3. Added a second LC field with no conditioning.  (Not even sure what this
would weed out, but if you can enter LC on one field and NOT on another
field in the same screen, then that would seem to point quite definitively
at IBM).

And of course, the old standby: are you sure you're using the right display
file from the right library compiled from the correct source.  (Silly, I
know, but you have to check.)
