When trying to invoke the 3270 FTS File Transfer program, the initial File
Transfer screen would be displayed, then the system would hang. The customer

1. Back out of PROFS by hitting the PF12 key twice.
(Do not attempt to use any other method.)
2. Hot-key to DOS using the LSHIFT + RSHIFT keys.
3. Execute AST's FTS (File Transfer program).
4. Once the File Transfer is finished, re-initialize the PROFS system.
This is done by typing:
