RE: Does anyone know if the new advertising is working?

There you go again, acting like an old-school programmer afraid to try
the new toys...  I must admit that only today I opened WDSC, grabbed
QCLSRC and chose make available offline.  After 17 1/2 minutes and a
trip to the coffee machine I was actually able to edit my program, after
which I highlighted the program and chose Remote Actions and Compile
(prompt).  Rather than compiling promptly WDSC promptly chose to push
all the offline code (indicating that it had all been changed?) back to
the server (another 17 1/2 minutes and more coffee) before presenting me
with the compile options for my selected program.  Now I have a message
in the bottom of my (LPEX Editor?) window stating that "Line truncation
occurred during the save."

It did actually compile successfully, so this must be a good tool.  I
think I'll try suppressing the little PDM blurb next...

If by "little PDM blurb," you mean the annoying message 
that comes up in the latest versions of OS/400, suggesting 
that PDM, SEU, &c. are obsolete, and that one should be 
entering one's code using some Godawful-slick 
Windoze-based client-server kludge instead of on a real 
terminal, well, the one time I encountered it on a 
borrowed V5 box, it prompted me to ask how to suppress it, 
and why IBM is wasting its time fixing something that 
isn't broken.
