How does changing editors helps someone learn VM? If someone is going to manage VM, they are going to need to be able to do a lot of things. Adding, changing, and deleting lines in a configuration file is going to be the least of their worries. I honestly don't think that making ISPF look like XEDIT would help a VM sysprog learn z/OS more quickly, either. MVSers can learn the basics of XEDIT very quickly, just as I did with ISPF. The several ISPF-like XEDIT profiles running around out there are sufficient IMO. In any case, while I can't find ESPF, I did find XEDIT macros that someone wrote to simulate ESPF. Those macros are not in the VM Download Library and have dependencies on other IBMer-written goodies.
