Just to be clear, due to client demand, the commercial version of PSC/400
generates programs that can still run interactively.  A single program can
run either interactively using a display file or in batch using the PSC/400
runtime.

And yes, while HTML is the standard interface, PSC/400 is completely UI
independent and can be used to communicate via XML or any other method you
choose.
