If you use Java on your workstation, you might want to pick this up. I
found it while "goofing around" on the IBM site.

What is Xedit for JavaTM?
Xedit for Java is a tool for assisting in migration from a content
editing environment for mainframe (VM/CMS) 3270 terminals to an
e-business environment. Xedit for Java provides a Java applet that
simulates the XEDIT editor of VM/CMS in a modern e-business environment.

Though it simulates the old editing user interface, it is fully based on
e-business technology. Furthermore, this interface allows use of the
full Unicode character set rather than the more limited EBCDIC.

How does it work?
Xedit for Java supports all the traditional editing commands of XEDIT,
as well as some enhancements such as "cut-and-paste" and "undo" features
and the full Unicode character set. Because the XEDIT editing is
line-oriented, Xedit for Java also treats documents as an array of lines
and provides the block-edit commands, handles cursor movements, and
extends the XEDIT editing with some modern editing features, such as
full undoing/redoing, clipboard pasting, unicode support, dialog boxes
for searching/replacing, and more.
