I can see now that the way I wrote that is confusing. By iSeries display I
meant the converted green screen - after I've used webfacing to change the
green screen to gui.
When certain converted screens display, I want to include a link to graphics
that are associated with other information displayed on the screen - ideally
with some kind of overlay so the picture of the item and the item text
description will appear together.
The link will appear on the converted (is 'webfaced' a verb?) screen but
would not be present in the green screen.
Thanks -
Russ

By "iSeries display" do you mean the green screen?
You can add a function key button to the screen and the action behind
that button would be to launch MS Internet Explorer on the client
PC. Of course, this assumes you are running 5250 emulation on a PC.
The command would look something like this:
STRPCCMD PCCMD('C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\IEXPLORE path/to/image')
The STRPCO command must be run on the host system.
There is a server that must be started for this to work. I believe
it is the host server.
I've not done this for a while so I'm not exactly sure of the
specifics but this should point you in the right direction.
Thanks,
Todd
