SUMMARY
The following list describes the information displayed in the status line of the 5250 Applet.

STATUS INDICATORS
These indicators are only true when red.

The AS/400 is operating and is available to the PC.

MW (Message Waiting):

The AS/400 has one or more messages for you.

The keyboard is in shifted mode.

IM (Insert Mode):

Characters inserted into an existing field will not type over the existing data.

II (Input Inhibited):

Keyboard input is not being accepted by the AS/400. Try pressing ERROR RESET. If it is still highlighted, the system is processing your request.

KB (Keystroke Buffering):
