By green screen, I meant 5250, Paul, and while I agree that legacy applications will be using 5250 for some time, my opinion is that new application development using graphical UI will outweigh 5250 development by a large (and ever-increasing) margin from this point forward. On the other hand, I think there IS a market for a purely TCP/IP-based protocol, either HTML or some other variant, that can emulate the clean interface of the 5250. Most graphical applications are not nearly as friendly to data-entry-intensive applications as our beloved green screen.
