This suggests an emulator defect rather than a sub-file problem.

I presume you're using PC5250. X-WAIT is not listed in the help text  
for my version of the emulator (5.7) but it suggests the emulator is  
waiting for a host response (i.e., from the telnet server). It may be  
that X-WAIT replaces the X-clock_symbol in my version.

Next question is whether this problem manifests only with this trivial  
sub-file or does it show with other F-key responses?

Also, does it manifest on other emulators or other client systems?

Anything of interest in the job log of the telnet server (QTVTELNET)  
or device manager (QTVDEVICE) jobs?

Host might be fully PTFed but is PC5250 up to date?
