Because he retired, Bruce never had the opportunity to work with a really great emulator like, say, Vista3270. With Vista, the mouse quickly becomes your new bestie. Vista was written by a certain mainframe veteran who understood the platform and coded myriad little productivity aids that allow nimble manipulation of common entities like JCL parameters. If I'm occasionally forced to work some other, dumber emulator, I feel like the proverbial monkey banging on a typewriter. Try it; you'll like it.
