You reminded me that back in 1976 when I had just joined Sun Oil, and we were a big IBM datacenter, I requested a new feature in our 3270s that led to several phone calls from the IBM'er responsible to answer the request (and my first call from IBM Japan!). He sincerely examined the request in several calls, but finally convinced himself that it couldn't be done, or couldn't be done with then-current technology.
All I wanted was a key that would take my cursor back to where it was just before it's current location (i.e., after I had hit something and didn't know what I had done, and wanted to go back to where I had been!).

I updated an existing ETR. (Not that I expect a response before Monday.) SIS is still working too! I might be the last customer in the country or even in the world with a fully-functioning IBMLink "Green Screen" session.
