It is. z/OS 1.8 added 3.17 (UDLIST). In 1.9 all panels can access unix files / directories and there is some help for ascii translation. > >Regarding to Kirk's question: I miss it (the functionality) too.

When I want 3270 I use ISHELL (or one of the ISPF extentions), if I want a unix shell I telnet into z/OS UNIX. Any decent telnet client (not the win-doze one) will allow you to scroll back and forth and you can use editors like VI and EMACS from a telnet session. The setup to telnet directly into z/OS UNIX is very simple. Ocassionally I use TSO OMVS if I only need a shell for a short period of time.
