RE: Keyboard mapping with IBM's webfacing tool

I've got to agree. The version that is being installed now is capable of
having some users access the system via green screen. I just found out that
the next version coming from this software company will be GUI only.

When I asked the consultant how the GUI version handles things like break
messages, I got a dumb look.

This is easy to fix...  Stop trying to use GUI for data entry.
Somewhere along the line a lot of people forgot to use the best tool for
the job.  We all decided to GUI our Green Screen applications because it
was the thing to do but we never stopped to think what would really be
best for ALL the users.  Some users should be using GUI Web apps and
some should be left along on the green screen.

I am sitting here at a client site with a consultant from a software
company that used IBM's webfacing tool to put a GUI front end on their
software.

The consultant swears that there is no way to make the + (Plus) key on
the
right side of the numeric keypad map to be a field exit key.

Can this possibly be true? The enter key maps as an enter key. This
issue
is really slowing down the people entering timecards, invoices, etc.

Thanks
