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).

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.
