I love Google's query completion. As soon as I've typed 3 characters in the text box, it presents me with a dropdown menu of a handful of plausible completions (all wrong). A few more keystrokes and it shows me the one I want, among others, not only on Windows, but likewise on OS X and Linux. This is not a bad thing. And it would be a good thing (disputed only by laudator temporis acti ©) if ISPF were to do similarly on every panel which allows a data set name to be typed. I suspect Dave S. can explain to us why this is unlikely to happen soon if ever. And spelling correction. I like the way Google presents me an option; I detest the way Firefox makes the correction, willy-nilly. It could be done well. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
