CMS, like TSO, has a nearly forgotten line-oriented modal editor.
CMS EXEC, like CLIST, supported that modal editor. EXEC 2 and later
CMS Rexx, like TSO Rexx, abandoned support for modal commands. I
sorely miss this facility in Rexx.
The "address TSO" host command environment, new in z/OS 1.4 Rexx
for Unix Services (check the revision bars) is very nearly such
a modal command environment.
Does the TSO security model, such as it is, preclude wider use
of modal commands or the development of modal commands by users?
I see no relationship between modality and security, so I would have to
say no, it doesn't.
If you see some relationship that I don't, please explain further.
Perhaps you're considering something to be "security" that I don't.
