Re: iSeries Access V5.7 mouse behavior

Here's why I'm confused: I can't find any trace of activating the
mouse "click-to-enter" function in my V5.5 CAX sessions.  And
customers using older versions of Client Acess, etc. have had no
problems with subfile line selection, etc. using an "out of the box"
CAX configuration.

I'm not sure I agree with the "if it works with dumbhead terminals it
will work the same way with PC emulation"; I'll start by pointing out
the differences in the keyboard and that pesky ENTER key.  Moving to
smart (ha ha) clients represents quite a bit step and I'm not sure the
old paradigm applies.  But I'm not going to waste bandwidth on the
point.

I don't spend a lot of time experimenting; I don't have the time to
spend.  When I decided to mousify a few things, I RTF-DDS-M, cranked
some code, and everything worked.  *Those* are the reasons I think
something's screwy with the V5.7.

If somebody can explain why my mouse works on V5.5 but not on V5.7,
with no obvious configuration changes, I'll be satisfied.
