I may be missing something. Users can modify keylists, right? How does ISPF handle that?

The way I've seen it done was by changing the key's profile variables in the shared pool. Since the keylist is a table, it isn't in profile variables. Since ISRKEYS is open SHARE NOWRITE, you should be able open it again as SHARE NOWRITE and modify it. To make a permanent change you'd need to write it out to a different location. The devil's in the details, however. I haven't tried this. Perfect! This is a real start. Thanks.
