So while we're on a rant/wishlist for kc4z, can I ask that the random behaviour of the left panel gets addressed?
Example: Let's say I want to look in to MVS commands. I navigate the TOC panel on the left to select z/OS 2.3, then z/OS MVS, then z/OS MVS System Commands, and then MVS System Command Reference (yes, I know I can just search instead, but this is just an example). On the right contents panel I then click a link to take me to the MODIFY command. At that time my left panel resets and I lost the navigation I did to get to the section of the manual I want to be at. In my mind the left panel should either stay where it is or follow where the link takes me.

Yep, that's exactly what I'm looking for, z/OS Plus IMS, DB2, I know I have CICS, and CICS/FA loaded, but I'd like to have Omegamon, CDC (Infosphere).....to name a few.

It's very useful for what it does for z/OS, but it doesn't help for separate products like DB2, IMS, etc. -Sue Shumway On 05/08/18 11:20 AM, Mike Schwab wrote: > https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww-304.ibm.com%2Fservers%2Fresourcelink%2Fsvc00100.nsf%2Fpages%2FzOSV2R3IndexFile&data=02%7C01%7Cbvandergrijn%40DOW.COM%7C4d6fc308aa384c86d59208d5b4f9db5b%7Cc3e32f53cb7f4809968d1cc4ccc785fe%7C0%7C0%7C636613907583381095&sdata=VdUXC7%2FEZheo7VUFvo8VBhAtD5qufLeDwvGqaK1%2F9sM%3D&reserved=0 > > On Tue, May 8, 2018 at 9:57 AM, Susan Shumway <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hi Elardus, >> >> Wow, you're even more expensive than my babysitter!
