I consider myself lucky not to have had to support QMF in many years, when I did, I thought it also ran under CICS. IIRC, that would be the reason it was not an ISPF application. Once developers get the notion to run in multiple environments, they want to ignore environment specific technologies in order to use the same code base. QMF did not sell enough graphics capable terminals so complaints must have poured in to remove the GDDM overhead. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
