Re: Green screen - it's time is over

DHTML is just a fancy term for using using CGI programs to
output HTML.  It has no bearing on the user-friendliness of
the format.  It's still HTML, and not what I'd want to use
for data intensive operations.  Start up WSG and go into SEU
and use it for editing your programs for a week.  You'll see
what I mean.
