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.

Eric,

You know, I installed that PRPQ and even played with the VNC part. Maybe I
missed the point, but I do not understand what it is good for. As I recall,
I had this VNC desktop displayed on my PC, but the only thing you could do
was run a really horrible editor, and very slowly at that. I did not find a
way to get to a command shell, i.e. such that a terminal screen was
displayed where I could enter commands. There must be something more to it
than what I found.
