Very nice.  I would like to suggest if it isn't too much trouble that 
you see about a soft keyboard.  I tried using it in a mode I use all the 
time.  I have a number of virtual desktops that I connect to and use via 
RDP.  I am using a mac for the system with the screen (has a retina 
display).

Problem is the keyboard is for the mac, so the keyboard mappings is 
useless.  I know this is an oddball situation, but is probably one worth 
thinking about.

The approach I would prefer would be similar to what X3270 does, to 
launch the soft keys when needed.

It worked fine, entered a basic program and it proceeded to take off.  I 
just didn't have any way to break the execution.

Excellent work.

thanks
