I tried to do the same for ISPF, but it wouldn't let me. Apparently ISPF has a set of characters it considers acceptable candidates for LINEND, not including Field Mark. IIRC, I edited my PROFILE data set and set LINEND to Field Mark regardless. It may or may not work, but at least I recovered use of semicolon without sacrificing another of the valuable characters in the list. And I found an old CMS PROFILE that I used for CMS with a serial terminal, perhaps in the age of 300 baud modems. In it, I had set all the line editing characters to CTRL-modified keys. CMS is far more tolerant than ISPF -- if the programmer wants to set his line delete character to SPACE, it's his gun and his foot. -- gil -- StorageTek INFORMATION made POWERFUL ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
