The ATTN key will send SIGNAL to the host to request the Change
Direction indicator (CD).  The command is expedited but has no effect
on SLU states.  Once Signal has been sent,  pressing the ATTN or PA
keys will not cause a second ATTN until the 3274 has received a
response to the first.  Normally,  the PLU responds by sending a NULL
RU with the CD flag set.  If I had my SNA FAP (Formats and Protocols)
on me I'd give you the actual Signal format,  but I took it home.
