I'm just saying it was a surprise. I don't know anything about WSA other than I tried it once, saw that each line of the simulated ISPF edit area was a separate edit box, and that did it for me. I never tried it again. On 1/26/2021 11:03 AM, Paul Gilmartin wrote: On Tue, 26 Jan 2021 10:41:4

I haven't used SPF/PC in many years, but I do remember it doing things that weren't possible via 3270, and those were sometimes a surprise. For example, I think I remember it automatically scrolling down text just by moving the cursor past the bottom of the screen. Can't do that on a real 3270
