I was sort of under the impression that iSeries Navigator or IBM Director (not to mention the myriad ofclient front ends) might count as a modern GUI interface. I'm more worried about the old school AS400 people who refuse to learn to use these tools.
. . .Yes, they are. But if 5250 capabilities had kept pace with X-terminal capabilities, you wouldn't need a WinDoze box to use it, or Host Servers, or anything else along those lines.
As it is, IBM InfoWindow II terminals have mice, and the semigraphics characters to support text-screen versions of most of the common GUI constructs, but the documentation on how to write for those features is only slightly better than the documentation for the old "WP mode" (and in case you haven't looked, "WP mode" documentation is practically nonexistent).
