Did the wy50 have it's own codes for block or was there some "standard"?
(Somhow I doubt that, though.)

I've got a Wyse WY-50 terminal. From the menus, it's got four modes:
FDX, BLOCK, HDX, H-BLK
You're correct on block mode. Block is often used in cases where the host
computer downloads an electronic form to the terminal's display. The titles
and format of the form itself are protected, so you just fill in the fields
and press enter. Away it goes.
