Re: Simple request

You can initiate a web browser from a PC5250 green screen session using
Hotspots setup to Execute URL (use 3D button to show URL on green screen
easily).

Yes, the problem is 5250 , its easy to do with http.
On the client side we only type on ''green screen'', on server.
Client side need to get the file from the server.(get)
Runrmtcmd or cpytostmf run on server and Put or Ask (usrid and pass) -->
client.
Execpt run on a browser i don't know how to resolve that.
