Re: Saving the System i: Fight Rather Than Switch

[Brian <iserieslists@xxxxxxxxx>]

Aaron,

I'm running WDSC 6.0.1 with the 6.0.1.3 interim fix installed. I use the
customized iSeries Editing perspective downloaded from Softlanding's
website. This customized perspective has the iSeries Command Log set as a
Fast View which I can quickly pop-up by clicking on its icon. At the bottom
of the iSeries Command Log view is a command entry combo box where I can
enter a command or select from one of my previously entered commands. It
even has a button for prompting the command.

Kind regards,

Brian
