RE: Xwindows/400

There is more. I've done a little with this. There are commands in the PRPQ 
that need X to display results. There's an editor with it that is what the 
developers at IBM use, part of the Andrew Tool Kit. It's not vi or ed, 
which are primitive, but Unix folk know them. It's also possible to make 
Emacs the editor - don't know if it's in PASE or whatever. (You COULD point 
your iSeries activity at an X Windows server on a Unix box or Linux box 
that had Emacs installed.) PASE is needed to run this stuff. AFAIK, there 
is not a 5250 session in there, and not intended. There's a chart of the 
requirements at that porting site that Eric posted.
