I use x3270 all the time. And I've made widespread use of custom key sequences to make me more productive. So far so good.
Kirk, you mentioned scripting. I've only had limited success with that. One day I'll persist. :-) But the reason for leaping in is to ask whether - in anyone on the list's experience - scripting performance is OK. I ask because this seems analogous to the kind of protocol IND£FILE represents, which I always found to be slow. Thoughts?

I don't really find x3270 all that objectionable. Its fairly easy to customize and the scripting works fine. Granted, I don't use it that much; most of my z/OS work is from a shell.
