Re: 5250 emulator that works with iPadPro and Apple keyboard

Hi, Jim,
Okay -- this was helpful ... I signed on as R10 and looking around with e.g. LISTFILES  I see more stuff ...
And, I figured out how to do that "ED SM *" thing and look at one item at a time ... ;-)
Coming from other mostly "traditional" OS background, with VM/CMS and MVS/TSO etc., with some PC-DOS and Unix and Linux thrown in, the whole REALITY and PICK paradigm is quite different and takes some getting used to ... :-)
Thanks again,
Mark

I have the latest version in the App Store so that’s not the issue. 
It looks like it won’t access the keyboard since it’s not connected with Bluetooth, it has a direct connection to the iPad so it looks like it just won’t connect to the keyboard. 

I’ll put in an issue, but many others have complained about the same thing, so not holding my breath on it. 

Works well everywhere else.

Hmm.  Maybe it’s an older version.  I’ll try and download a new one.

I'm assuming people stay current with their software on iDevices. :-)

Btw, on my Mac, since upgrading to macOS 11.7 (?), Mocha 5250 and 3270 are the only applications I use which can't cope with network configuration changes while they have connections open. Of course if you change the IP address, I'd expect a "server closed connection", but not if I only change e. g. the default gateway. The peer machine is always in the local network, so the gateway entry is irrelevant. Even iACS doesn't show said behavior but is useless for me for V4.

I think Apple changed the behavior of some APIs and/or introduced new ones which spare applications from invalidating the socket file descriptor. Dunno, I'm not programming on my Mac. :-)

I reported said issue and had the usual discussion with jan f about its (un)importance in (my) everyday use. Sadly far the issue has not been fixed and probably will never be.

:wq! PoC
