I would like to compare notes with other programmers who use, or want to use, the enhanced 5250 features like scroll bars, push buttons, radio buttons, check boxes, and MOUBTN().
The user-base today is unused to F-keys. They are used to mouse clicks and the mouse wheel. Isn't it time we acknowledged this in our green screen applications? Shouldn't turning the mouse wheel scroll a sub file? Shouldn't a mouse click open a drop down box of available & valid choices?
I am not particularly interested in lectures on the purity of the 1980s and F-keys and why it is important to teach users that F21 is shift-F-something and that the only way to close a program is with F-3. Except sometimes when we use F-12.
