That last sentence is six words too long :) Really NOT complaining/criticizing, more noting that the XEDIT-based tools are using it well beyond its design parameters! APAR VM20779 back in the day was major surgery and did a lot to make such applications more usable, but since XEDIT was never intended to be a display manager, it's hard to feel like its limitations in that area are failings. Gil knows this, I'm sure, and I share his sentiments. Just noting that it's pretty impressive that XEDIT is even as usable as it is in this mode of operation! ...phsiii
