Re: VM CONSOLE on the 9672
Does your 9672 runs in LPAR mode? If not, it is possible that the Integrated 3270 console doesn't work, it'll remain black.

Re: XEDIT question
I don't think XCOL helps a lot to learn how to use/make XEDIT panels. Maybe my old SMARTX package is easier (a panel front-end for RTM/ESA), or, better, it has more features to use panels. Like the panel itself being a file that is XEDITed, so the panel can be longer han a screen, and PF8/PF7 can be used to scroll down/up. Addresses very closely Tom's basic goal (protect/unportect some field). It is based on an undocumented feature (the same that HELP uses): when a READ NOCHANGE TAG is active, XEDIT doesn't require SET RESERVED commands to cover all screen lines. No, with READ NOCHNAGE TAG, XEDIT will honor the control characters that are imbedded in the file that is displayed. With SMARTX, there is a file SMART COMMANDS with the imbedded panel data. SMART XEDIT is the macro that displays the panel, gets the user input, etc. Another tool I've got to make panels easy is my SELFS exec. It doesn't use XEDIT buth the CMS WINDOW VSCREEN commands. SELFS is alos very well suited to make scrollable panels. The initial goal was to have an easy tool to select one or more lines from a list, hence the name SELFS, SELect FullScreen. SELFS has some demo tool to illustrate its capablities. And, at last there is my collegue's RxMessageBox (RXMB), what produces nicely looking popup boxes, also based on CMS WINDOW VSCREEN commands I'll send those. 2011/4/7 David Boyes dbo...@sinenomine.net Have a look at XCOL from the vm download library.
