  32. I don't use PMHPO to access IBM OS/2 BBS (I use a 3270 session in ES).                                                                                
  33. But it sounds like you are hitting the new line key instead of the Enter key.                                                                         
  34. Try hitting the Enter key on the number pad, or the right Ctrl key.
