It seems likely that the host application is refusing to run on anything
but a 2392A.  You could test this by switching Reflection to a 700/92 and
then changing the terminal-id string back to '2392A'.  It's just a string,
you can type anything you want in it.  This string is what Reflection sends
in response to a terminal-ID request (esc *s^), it doesn't matter what the
terminal-type is set to. You can run as a 700/92 but tell the host program
that you are a 2392A. There really isn't any reason that an application
wouldn't run on a 700/92 if it runs on a 2392 unless it is specifically
refusing to.
