You can use THE (The Hessling Editor) which is a freeware text editor based on Xedit. I run it on RHES3 with Regina Rexx and it runs fine. You can use profile (as with Xedit) to choose your screen configuration with the same set of command of PROFILE EXEC. There are commands to have the prefix

Hi,all I'm very in troubled. Please teach me. I want to use shared DASD. The DASD(ADDRESS:1000) is used by two SLES9s. SLES9s are running on different z/VMs. (One SLES9-A is running on z/VM-A, the other SLES9-B is running on z/VM-B.) Firstly, can I do above scenario? Thank you - K.M.

The issue that goes beyond this is that Linux doesn't understand shared devices. It can't synchronize writes at the OS level. You have the ability at the application level with OCFS and Oracle raw devices. I'm sure there are others, but that's off the top of my head. -Original
