Re: RDi 5250 settings

[Brian Parkins <goodprophet.bp@xxxxxxxxx>]

Nice to know, Mike. Shame RDi doesn't pick up the same configuration set 
up when invoking ACS outside of RDi, (or have a Preference/Setting for 
which configuration to use and where it is). But then, it's not much 
effort to invoke ACS/5250 from outside RDi - especially if there's a 
strategic shortcut handy on the desktop.

Cheers!
Brian.
