UIM (was: Re: Benefits of Sub-procedures)

Hello,

UIM for help panel groups is almost as HTML. One can surely code a
macro in a decent PC editor to replace UIM tags by HTML tags when the
day of the transition to a real browser (= HTML) application is done.

(BTW, i know of a company which got rid of all their help texts and
provides on F1 just a smart link to its intranet in the form of
http://myintranet/apphelp?pgm=mypgm&scr=myscreen&fld=myfield and there
programmers collected their first experiences with HTML. There *is* a
use for static HTML... :-)

And UIM for real panels - i dont know, can they be WebFaced? Or is the
number of people using them that way that small that it wouldn't pay
off? (I guess so, i never coded one myself; we have some in one of our
products, but i didn't fell in love at first sight.)
