FYI: Point-and-shoot has nothing to do with Dialog Tag Language. As an example, SimpList is a commercial product that makes extensive use of the ability to point-and-shoot. This can be accomplished by pointing at fields with a cursor or by clicking them with a mouse. There are more than 300 ISPF panels, and every one of them supports point-and-shoot (hence the ability to "surf the mainframe"). None of the panels were written using Dialog Tag Language.
