There are *lots* of things that SEU/400 still lacks, but at least some
of them are inherently impossible with a block-mode interface.

Such as (apart from graphical features)?

For instance, it is easy enough with a block terminal to allow a copy, cut and
paste function where you use a function key and the cursor position to delimit
the beginning and end of the block of text/code (not the same sort of block as
you are talking about).

I am interested here in the provision of the function as opposed to the means of
providing function.

I think that the point of this part of this thread has got lost.

Even if you can list functions that cannot be provided with block mode 
terminals,
I still would rather use one because it has other advantages. There is only one
copy of SEU on an AS/400 and except when there is an OS/400 upgrade, it does not
require maintenance.  There is one copy of Code/400 on every PC that has a
developer using it and PC's require constant attention.

I know that Code/400 has facilities not in SEU, but I (and others) don't want to
use a Windows based product and want the features added to SEU.

Best wishes
