It works when using Vista32, as the emulator, and _not_ in GUI mode. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eric N. Bielefeld Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2007 11:21 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: ISPF not productive
I still think that what you learned first and grew up on determines what editor you like best. I worked with VM for about 15 years at P&H Mining until they retired VM. I never liked XEDIT as well as ISPF. I know that some of the best people at P&H liked XEDIT better, but they learned it before ISPF. I know that there are a few things that XEDIT does that can't be done in ISPF, but I can't remember what they are now. Its funny how things work out when you've been away from ISPF for a while. When I would edit something at Lands End on the mainframe, I would keep grabbing the mouse and try to scroll forward using the scroll wheel. I wish I could do that in ISPF. I guess you can if you use the GUI, but I've never seen that work.
