Surely polling went out with 3270 - didn't it. If it actually polled then I reckon Kovid would have put a setting for 'how often" in the Auto Add Configuration

But that's all guess work - I haven't used the feature for a while.

AH! 3270's. Those grand old Boat anchors with the Green Screens and block transmission
