I've never had good luck with
IBM bloatware and refuse to use CA/IBM i Access
until they get Ctl-C, V and P to work like any other
program in the WORLD).

Are you saying that Ctrl+C and friends are not mapped to the
appropriate functions, or that the copy/paste/print functions
available in CA are wonky relative to most other applications?

Personally, I have mapped Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V (and Ctrl+X) in iSeries
Access and am quite happy with how they work. I don't use Ctrl+P at
all. Ever. In any application. (I had to look it up just now to see
what it does.)

I do think it's incredibly strange that these key bindings are not
standard in CA, but unlike the RDi situation, we can fix this
ourselves with a minimum of effort, without installing any new
software, and without paying any additional dollars.
