RE: Re[2]: "extract" command enhancement(subfiles and BIFs)

I seem to have created a little misunderstanding about how I feel about
programming displays on the AS/400.  

I don't think it's fun or interesting.  I don't like the way it's
implemented.  I'm not tempermentally suited for the use of DDS keywords and
indicators.  

Doesn't mean I think people who feel comfortable with it are moral
degenerates, doesn't mean I can't do it, doesn't mean I don't use available
tools.  I think SDA is actually a very good tool for designing text based
displays. It has a lot of similarities to visual basic and other gui based
tools.
