I'm presently happy with Accuterm as a terminal emulator, GED which is their GUI development module that designs like VB forms but is 100% pick subroutines with pretty managable code. Toss in WED, which is their Windows editor for programs and it's a home run.
I'm sure there's many other screen editors but WED has met all of my desires for being 100% of the MS interface while intelligently editing MV programs, ie formatting, compiling, INCLUDES, CALLS, Multiple documents etc. Plus at $1000 for 50 licenses, it's a real sweet deal. Peter Schellenbach is 100% behind this product and incredibly knowledgable with MV, VBA and all of the GUI stuff. Having an emulator that can gradually allow you to convert programs to GUI on a priority basis instead of all at once allows for a smart transition. There is no magic pill. We decide which programs need upgrading, typically inquiry-based to give the users something beyond 80x24 green screens. We also take some existing programs with the business logic already coded and convert them to Callable subs for the GED to reference. My 2 cents.
