+            AST 5250 CLUSTER CLEAR KEYBOARD BUFFER
+
+
+The following information is provided due to an ommission in
+the AST 5250/Cluster manual (Part No. 000428-001A) Appendix D,
+Section D.3, Page D-2 through D-3.
+
+AST 5250 Clusters enable users to establish a system 3/X
+session on remote PCs or ASCII terminals.  When configured to
+support ASCII terminals, control key functions are mapped to
+allow session control in the system 3/X enviroment.  The
+"Control ]" or ASCII Code 29 is mapped to control the keyboard
+buffer.  When this key sequence is activated, all data is
+cleared from the "type ahead" keyboard buffer.  If a user were
+to make a mistake while entering data, the "type ahead"
+keyboard buffer must be cleared before the mistake could be
+corrected by the "reset error" control key function.
