Wow! XMENU/E - I haven't used that (excellent!) product in probably 20 years! The ability for it to "wakeup" was one of the major features I preferred over DMS/CMS at the time (but there were many others, I recall it being an excellent product - glad to hear it is still around!).
I've been using IOS3270 since probably the mid 1990's. I wrote a front end to it to make it a LOT friendlier (who wants to remember all of the cryptic commands and syntax, and of course using characters that can be entered via the keyboard as escape codes is a BIG no-no!). It also has the ability to "wakeup", and equally nice you can bind panels on top of panels (perfect for doing "pop-ups" that overlay a main panel). -Mike -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Schuh, Richard Sent: Monday, July 13, 2009 6:51 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: REXX and Panels We use XMENU/E that was originally a Kolinar product. It can still be found at CA. I do not know its price, but it works great and includes KWAKEUP as part of the package.
