Whenever I have ISPF, I miss things in XEDT (and vice versa). My PC editor of choice is Tritus SPF; you can have my copy when they pry it out of my cold dead fingers. Meanwhile, IDz and IBM Open editor might be options.
As for THE, if there is every a fix for SET PENDING it will become part of my toolkit. If you're not writing prefix (line) macros that might not be an issue. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

It runs under ooRexx, which there is a version of for AIX... THE is more of an xedit clone, but regardless it should be more mainframe-like than vi! If you try it please let us know what you think.
