The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
I am letting this drop. Its no big deal. Gui, to me, means images.
Text based means nothing but characters from the character set. Minuet
used characters. Nothing but characters.
The only reason I even mentioned it in the first place is that in the
green screen environment we have nice borders, pushbuttons, radio
buttons, true scroll bars, check boxes, a good menu bar, and several
other features that we flat-out refuse to use. Then we get pontifical
and then we complain that we can't do what GUI does. Why would IBM do
anything to extend our capabilities when we reject what they have
already offered?
(For those doubting Thomases that have never used the scroll bar...
please.. try it before you knock it, ok?)

Are you talking about a 256 char codepage? If so, I fail to see the
relevance.
