VARCURL was an XEDIT source-level mod. Along with my personal favorite, SET AUTOCASE: If AUTOCASE was on, when you entered or modified a line and then hit an AID key, it would see if it was all lowercase; if it was, it would uppercase it. So you could enter assembler: label ds 0h<hit PF tabkey>This is a comment and wind up with LABEL DS 0H This is a comment This was ASMXF, which didn't allow mixed-case code, of course. >"In the early 80s, when dialup was the rule, ..." we used the Simware emulator. Heh. You had a PC, it sounds like. Sim3278 was designed for Volker-Craig 404s et sim. There was even a prototype VC terminal that had a 3270-looking keyboard that sent the Simware key sequences for the AID keys. The Simware guys were all ex-UofW, where I was working, so we were tight with them. It was a great product for its time; they got obsoleted and killed, alas. I miss my 3278-4. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
