Isn't also a matter of the fact that OS/400 wouldn't react to every
keystroke like a PC does?  Would you want the CPU to inspect every
keystroke saying "Did they press CTL, did they press ALT  did they
press......."

That's what I meant about the iSeries being a block mode versus character
mode processing.

In your statement about the 400 not having a bit mapped display, were you
referring to all, or just some of the many clients that the 400 supports:
PC's, net stations, dumb terminals, etc...
