Hi Dan

This is a setting in the Hotspots type - in the session click on Edit, then Preferences, then Hotspots - the item you need to change - if you want to - is one of the last 2. I set this on all the time - I find it very useful to double-click on a menu option that behaves as you describe. There are also options there to make F-keys into graphical buttons. Who knew we have a graphical interface with a black background - or other color of choice.

I believe this has been part of the 5250 emulation in the previous client.

Cheers
Vern

ACS Version 1.1.8.8

In the past, I could double-click a text on a 5250 screen and the emulator
would simply "select" the text. Just started a new job with a fresh ACS
install. Using this install, double-clicking the text does the following:
1. Selects the text
2. Pastes it at the location of the cursor
3. Performs an Enter key

Needless to say, it is rather annoying. Is this a bug? I don't ever
remember running into this issue before, and I've used 1.1.8.8 in other
shops without this issue.
