You didn't say whether or not your Host is using VM or MVS...if
it is VM, a quick and dirty solution is NOT to respond to the
WSF Query Response Reply command at all....the host then
internally assumes.... "Oh, a 3277 emulator, eh?" and treats you
as a 3277 Model 2 device....

In VM, there are only about a thousand different places that
need to be told NOT to send WSF and Extended Highlighting
datastreams to a given device...and one of them will always be
wrong unless you either answer 100% correctly to the Query Reply
command, OR pretend you don't even support the command...
