yeah, and A/D Cycle too (if anybody remembers). Now about F1 for help:
that was a regress. On S/38 F1 was end of app like F3 is on the AS/400.
Very useful, instead of hiding the exit key on F3. In heads-down use
of the AS/400 and the PC, how often do you press F1? once a day?
Help should have been on CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+F1 or some such
rare combination commensurate with its rare usage.
