This is important.  If this is an order entry screen for a telephone service
rep then you can probably speed up the entire process by removing some of
the arcane bits of the 5250 interface.  However, a data entry screen for
someone doing heads down keying from pieces of paper (market trades are a
prime example) is unlikely to be made better by a GUI.  The loss of
typeahead alone makes a browser application less powerful, and even the best
GUI in the world is only going to go as fast as the user types.
