'>Is anyone interested in trying to agree a design for an
improved, standard AS/400 Web/5250 interface?

You just delineated a number of good UI ideas.  Your idea for a command line intrigued me.  Aside from the standard browser address bar, I don't recall seeing command lines in Web applications.  But I've thought about it.  I've always liked the IBM i command line.

Perhaps not a full command line.  But with a menuing system, each menu item might have a unique ID.  WRK.100 (Work Request System), PRJ.100 (Project Management System), DAY.100 (Daily Planner), TIM.100 (Time Entry & Maintenance), CUS.100 (Customer Entry & Maintenance), etc.  So what about a prompt that launches an instance of an application in a portal frame by entering, say WRK.100 - if the user is authorized to that menu item?
