I don't usually want XEDIT to work like ISPF EDIT, just to have all of the features, e.g., both column shifts and data shifst. I would leave < and > as column shifts in XEDIT, even though they are data shifts in ISPF.

Both have useful features that the other lacks. Indeed. Several times I've offered to help ISPF folks create a PROFILE XEDIT that would make it work like ISPF; we've never gotten it off the ground, because reasons. I use ISPF but don't consider myself enough of a power user to do this on my own (whereas XEDIT I know *very* well, including internals). When I'm in XEDIT (or more likely KEDIT, these days) and do a FIND BANANA when I mean /BANANA I grumble and laugh. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
