How Commands Behave While Waiting for Application Response

Because MAI-OC simulates a real terminal, it is possible to get a logical keyboard locked condition in which MAI-OC is, for instance, waiting for a response from the application. At this time, the MAISEND command cannot be used to send data to the application and if entered is rejected with an appropriate error message. Normally the command can be retried later. Of course, any other region commands can be entered while you are waiting.
