Anyway, one of our questions on the i was about program development. On
the z, we use ISPF, which has a number of utility functions and as best
as I can tell, the editor is similar to SEU.

The SEU editor _looks_ similar to ISPF on the surface and many of the basic editor commands are the same. That said, most ISPF users are _very_ disappointed when they try to move to SEU. There is not the huge library of extensions available for SEU that you find with ISPF. There is no ability to simply build your own Rexx macros - even though Rexx is available it doesn't integrate with SEU. Prior to effectively ending SEU development IBM added User Exit Points, which allow you to program your own commands, but you have to write program code - no nice simply scripting. No keystroke recorders, etc. etc.

For your programming tools go directly to RDi - do no pass Go ... It is a much better environment and you won't be frustrated by something that _looks_ like ISPF but doesn't have the features.
