- If Recv <CR>=<CR><LF>, the AS/400 menus, applications may not display correctly.
- Enter Key (numeric keypad) determines what the Enter does:
- Recommend Enter Key=Send
- If Enter=Return, the Enter Key performs that same function as the return (key above the right shift).
- Turnaround Character determines what character is used in conjunction with various Function Keys (F1, F3, F12).
