It is worth pointing out that MXI 4.3 (freeware) will attempt to turn on the "Tab to point-and-shoot" setting when it is started as this is a desirable option for the way that MXI works.
Users can disable this feature using the options displayed on the "SET SCREEN" panel.

You can straddle the application invocation REXX with something like : address ISPEXEC "SELECT PGM(ISPOPT) PARM(PSTAB(ON))" blah blah address ISPEXEC "SELECT PGM(ISPOPT) PARM(PSTAB(OFF))" Rob Scott Rocket Software, Inc 275 Grove Street Newton, MA 02466 617-614-2305 [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jim McAlpine Sent: 03 April 2009 16:25 To: [email protected] Subject: annoying ISPF behaviour In ISPF settings I have all of the options unticked but occasionaly the "tab to point and shoot" field becomes selected automagically which is very annoying. Anyone come across this before and know why it happens. This is z/OS 1.7.
