RE: Prompting of CL commands

Prompting commands offline would be tough:
Which version of OS/400 are you prompting the command for?
Is this an OS/400 command, or is this a user written command?
And the list goes on and on...
I suppose they could cache commands like they do files, but often when you 
want a prompt it is because you are using a command that you don't already 
have in the program.  So why should development bust hump to develop the 
caching for that?

But I want my cake and to eat it too.  I thought at least part of the 
reason
for CODE/400 (actually I am using WDSc) is to move development off of the
iSeries.  Why should I have to tie up an interactive session and 
continually
switch back and forth?  It doesn't make any sense and sure doesn't sound
very efficient.

I'm looking for the CL GUI prompting option you mentioned Vern but I 
haven't
been able to find it yet.  If I understand you correctly, I need to start
the CODE editor without a source member.  Because I choose the editor when
opening a source member from WDSc it always contains a source member.  I
guess I need to figure out how to start CODE outside of WDSc.

Buck, that is not the Autoconnect server - you had to start one manually
;-)

Actually, I prefer the STRCODE prompting - it is much faster. Oh - but
pretty is better, right? <g>
