  Of course OpsNav runs on a PC, it is supplied and licensed as part of
OS/400. It is, however, not an actual part of OS/400 but rather a Tool
used to configure and monitor it.  Much as you cannot tune your BMW M3,
Dodge Viper, or F15 Eagle without using outboard tools, diagnostic
equipment, etc you can no longer tune or configure all of OS/400 without
this tool.

  Don't get me wrong, I am a big green screen user and for nearly any
function available there I can do it faster and more acurately. But we
'keyboard junkies' must realize two truths: 1) To get new users to
OS/400 we need to present them an interface that is current and GUI
(read ops nav) is it. 2) IBM is not made of money and we can have them
either develop dual interfaces for everyting and do Less, or focus on
the current interface and deliver more.

  I don't like it either but I'm flexible enough to deal with it.
