Friends,

We were batting this around on the RPG400 list and I thought I'd better
cross post this on the midrange-l list.

Look at this sample display file DDS:

R RCD1
                        2  5'http://www.dekko.com'
                        4  5'mailto:rob@dekko.com'

This will put two simple literals on your screen.  One will say

http://www.dekko.com

and the other will say

mailto:rob@dekko.com

In your Client Access 5250 session if you double click on the top one, then
your PC's favorite browser will pop up and you will automatically go to
that web site.

In your Client Access 5250 session if you double click on the bottom one,
then your PC's favorite email package will pop up and you will have an
email created, with the To: address filled out and just waiting for you to
fill in the body.

After some testing here, we have determined that you need to be on a pretty
recent release of Client Access Express in order to get the mailto working.
The http is not quite as picky.

You can turn hot spots on in your 5250 session and these will appear as
buttons.

Now, your users can use browser based help, and so on.  The only problem is
figuring out how to make those http links small enough to not suck up your
whole screen.
