OK.  An ISPF replacement that converses in HTML, so I could
use any browser on any platform to handle the presentation.

Seems much more the right approach than HOD.  But who'd
handle the coding?

Realistically, the host needs to get involved in the
presentation to some extent.  Should an SDSF display
of 1000 jobs be presented to the viewer as a single
page of corresponding depth, with text entry fields
corresponding to those I now see on the 3270?
