Re: Accounting Vendors

Typing and "mousing" is a no-no. Web applications should either allow to enter all, ar at least most, info trough the muose, or use only the keyboard. Normaly you can go from a field to the next using "tab", also a fairly simple javascript can emulate the "field-" and "field+".

It all comes down to a cost-benefit analysis. Like it or not, from an
ergonomic point of view, the 5250 data stream protocol is much more
efficient than Windows + HTML, aside from being more suited to rapid data
entry. Easier to just hit Field Exit than to click on another field with the
mouse (both hands stay on the keyboard).
