I share the irritation of dealing with users' graphical 3270 screen shots, especially in view of the ease with which most (all?) emulators can produce a copy/pastable text image. I uncharitably ascribe the practice to laziness, but it's probably simple ignorance. Nothing I hate worse than having to type from a graphical image even when I can actually read it. Ugh!

I can't Copy/Paste the failing command and try it myself to reproduce the problem; I must retype it by eyeball. (Nor can I attach it to LISTSERV.) I much prefer text. x3270 has a "save single/multiple screens as text/HTML/Rich Text (also bitmap)." HTML from x3270 is excellent -- full color and selectable text. Hummingbird has similar, but the default is image. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
