Midrange-L is not set up for teaching the AS/400 to those who don't know 
it.  We all agree that training new people on the AS/400 is important, 
it's just that this isn't really the place to do it.

Neil:

I apologize for not trying to understand the other's point of views.

I did some AS/400 homework and it did me little good and I do not know 
any AS/400 users' groups or personally and do know to turn to for AS/400 
advises or leads.  Moreover, IBM do have a knowledge base but their 
knowledge base is somewhat small and limited and did not have answers to 
my questions.  In order for anyone to ask IBM questions, correct me if I 
am wrong, you must be an IBM's customers (??)

I, personally appreciate everyone for sharing and giving their thoughts 
on the AS/400.

I just begin to use and post messages on user group since I have this 
new job, which requires me to learn how to communicate with AS/400.

If anyone, not mind me asking AS/400 questions when I really, really 
stuck, please e-mail me at vuongtn@hotmail.com

I appreciate your guidances and knowledges.  Vuong.
