Tina,
Please disregard this message; it is a test of the TRANWSFER sample
client.

F3 = Read Next F4 = Discard F16 = Return SF16 = Logoff
At this point, the client waits for the correspondent to press another function key to
read the next package or discard it, or to return to a previous screen. If TISERV
returns W-EOF and no items in the reply to the SCAN-FOLDER UOW, the client
displays an error message on the screen.
The correspondent decides to read the next package in the INBOX folder, and presses
the F3 function key.
Step 14: Get the next package, if one exists.
The client takes one of the following actions:
If there are more entries in the list, the client reissues the data-collecting UOWs.
If no more items appear in the list and TISERV has not informed the client that
there are no more items in the folder, then the client returns to the SCAN-FOLDER
UOW and continues reissuing the sequence of UOWs from that point.
If TISERV indicates that the list is empty, the client again displays the Function
Menu screen.
