Hi, Jack, and Jon, et al ...

Recalling multiple feet of IBM printed manuals we used to have to manually search through, using the index at the back of each one, to find answers, back in the day, on IBM mainframes, S/3x midrange systems, and AS/400s, prior to the advent of "the internet" and BookManager, and eventually CD-ROMs and .pdf documents, etc.

Fun times!

All the best,

Mark S. Waterbury

I honestly don't recall now Jack - I spent a lot of time on the web

Book manager ... SGML ... plasma displays ... :)
