Can you elaborate? True, I can't do _cut_/paste very well at all, but I 
certainly _copy_/paste regularly even if I don't use it quite the same as I do 
in CODE/400.

Huh? I do it all the time. Should I assume you mean within a single workstation 
session?

Font sizes aren't difficult, though it's not specifically within SEU.

I do tabbed entry all the time too. (But, I suppose you mean "non-prompted".)

There may be others who can speak to items I missed. I can think of how I'd do 
a couple of them but never needed to.

Overall, I am a fan of CODE/400 and probably would be for CodeStudio as well. 
But I work on one model 170 that only has twinax InfoWindow II accessibility. 
Can't do that with CODE/400 nor CodeStudio. I just wanted to be sure we're 
addressing the same limitations in concept.
