One thing I found a few years ago that it appears is not very well known is
the "hilite" function in ISPF Editor.  You can have editor hilite JCL, REXX,
Assembler, C, Cobol, HTML, and other things.

I find it helpful in spotting JCL errors and REXX syntax errors before I
submit/execute the job.  Not to mention it does break up the monotony of the
normal editor display.

While there are a lot of cool features of the ISPF editor, I do
not like hilite. I know lots of people love it, but I find it
hard to look at. I always turn it off.


But you do have to be on a TN3270 emulator that supports TSO extended
attributes, and the LU defined to your session must also support extended
attributes.

Another function I like is the "hide" function in ISPF editor also.

"Hide" is cool; as is "flip"; and "ak", "bk", and "ok"; so is "retp";
and I love "swapbar". Lots of others. Most not well known. Maybe I'll
add some of these to my list. Thanks.
