Exactly. Fujitsu 3 uses a 'screen' and/or a 'console window', neither
of which are the command prompt that started it.

Or a different product. To run in a _DOS_ session or a telnet session
you need to have a DOS compiler or use Linux. To run a GUI session
you need to use RAS or VNC and then you should get the Fujitsu (and
other) windows.

For a small amount of configuration you could have a text file that
the program opens, or put it on the command line.

For telnet access you could try using Kobol from www.thekompany.com
demo version , real version is only %50.00 or so. I've not tried the
Windows version but it may work.
