Did "Confirm ..." appear ab ovo with DSLIST, or later? ISTR that I and many operated happily for years with no Confirm. Even if I'm wrong there, I know that when I first used ISPF there was no Confirm on CANCEL from edit session. That one is plain stupid; there's no plausible conjecture that typing CANCEL could be inadvertent. And there's no way to turn that off, is there? I was dismayed when that interaction changed.
