RE: Has anyone looked at this? -- MIDRANGE-L

Just looked into PASE, and there's an X11 directory under /QOpenSys/bin - this has an X Windows manager, mwm, but you'll need to go to AIX documentation to see how to activate it. If you put this into some .profile file, you should get that interface in VNC. Any AIX weinies can help here? This will be similar to the QShell interface - it resides over IFS. It appears, from my quick test, that everything is handled a la Unix, with case sensitivity, even if the native file system does not require it, such as root.

BTW, once into VNC, try entering mwm and press Enter. Commands to run are usually in /QOpenSys/bin or /QOpenSys/usr/bin - might be some nice Explorer-like interfaces, etc.

 Sorry, I have never had an AS/400 with PASE running.  My assumption is that
you get the same terminal interface as with any UNIX (AIX) system.  I'm not
a UNIX person but I would think if running Xwindows or other GUI interface
it would all be usable with VNC just as Windows works.  If you are only
seeing a command (DOS like) text interface you need to add a GUI on top of
the base OS.
