Re: Scrollbar on the AS400

Booth,

The clients I work with still have 80 character "real" workstations in use that
do not have 132 col. capability.

Just today I yanked a 5250, yes a 5250, from a site that was using it as the
system console.

Also, ever try to actually read 132 char on a 14" monitor?

Sigh, unfortunately, some of use are stuck with these limitations.
