  ****************************************************************
  Some special characters (0x10 and 0x19) are not displayed on
  VT emulator sessions.
  

Problem conclusion

• Characters 0x10 and 0x19 were handled as control codes, so
  PCOMM would not draw these characters on the emulator screen.
  VT session was modified to handle Ox10 and 0x19 as characters
  when XLATE_PC_C1_CHARS keyword value is set to Y.
  
  PCSWS.EXE and PCSLTVT.DLL have been changed with this APAR.
  
  Fix scheduled for PCOM 6.0.4 Refresh Pack
