replaced as a group.
On a terminal or emulated terminal session, create the directory: /OmniTerm in the
AS/400 IFS by entering the following
===> CRTDIR DIR('OMNITERM')

NLynx) to the AS/400 directory: /OMNITERM

frame

AS/400
NOTE: When specifying the directory in the Update section on the OmniTerm be
sure to use the forward slash (/) character in front of the directory name. DO NOT
