As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

The same is true for your comptuer programs. How the

And that's a HUGE reason why green screen fails. In
fact, the green screen paradigm is a big part of the
decline of the iSeries. Nobody wants a system where
all/most of the programs are green screen.
And that's an area where most emulators fail far more
miserably than any real terminal since, say, the 3180, and
the inordinately popular RUMBA, at least in every release
I've ever tried, is the butt-ugliest of them all.
<shameless plug> Our emulator uses an iconic, rather than
WSF-style, status line, and always has. It gives one a
completely free choice of any font on the client system,
and always has (although it warns you if you choose a
proportional one) And it gives one a choice between a
terminal-look status line and a GUI-look one, and always
has. And most recently, we've even (inspired by something
I saw in a HATS demonstration) added the ability to put a
background image behind it, and included several
backgrounds in the JAR. </shameless plug>
