I think that was a general statement, not specific to PCOMM. But I could be wrong. I've got 5.8 (wish I had 5.9, but I don't have $200+ to spend on that). > > Another thing that got added in the past version or two is support for > > arbitrary screen sizes, beyond Mod5.

Arbitrary support is not there at 5.8, either. You still have to edit the .ws file. Which reminds me - there are settings in .ws files that still have no way to set them via Edit -> Preferences -> ... (at 5.8) such as IgnoreWCC*mumble* to have PCOMM ignore the generate-a-hardcopy flag in an output data stream (such as what's there in the ADCD z/OS and the regular z/VSE default USSes), and the Ignore undefined chars. At least, I've never found them. Later, Ray -- M.
