An expert 5250 user does not want to touch the mouse. The web interface can be used with keyboard alone, even if that is hard for users without 5250 experience.

this is a misunderstanding of GUI, most of the time a GUI user will have
his/hers mouse in his/hers right
hand it is much more efficient to use the TAB that requires the left hand

The expert user will be happy if the web interface has a javascript that
emulates the behavior of the 5250, for example: capture the + key and send
the cursor to the next field, instead of the normal web action that the +
appears at the end of the number...

I installed a nice Windowsy interface for one guy and he couldn't see it
no matter how big we made the font.
He was using client access and had his sessions full screen in a 1280x800
monitor. He also was best friends with the owner of the company so when he
complained we all heard about it.

I can't remember the name of those data entry stations that used to write
data to 8" diskettes..

But anyhow some of those "gals" were amazing - as you say keying two
pages
in advance...

I'd like to see how that works on a web-app if at all..!!!

PS..I've found it if you want to be nostalgic..

Does "type ahead" work good?
We have an order entry gal that keys 1 or 2 screens ahead. She's quick.
