Dave said "FYI: Point-and-shoot has nothing to do with Dialog Tag Language."
Nothing, of course, other than being an exact term and concept used by IBM for describing a facility of the ISPF Dialog Tag Language? http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/zos/v1r10/topic/com.ibm.zos.r10.f54 dt00/hps.htm?resultof=%22%70%6f%69%6e%74%22%20%22%73%68%6f%6f%74%22%20 Perhaps you meant to say P&S capability is not unique to ISPF? Or, that there were other ways to implement P&S than the DTL? I would agree 100% with you on this clarification.
