Ops Nav has nothing whatsoever to do with STRPCCMD.  The only requirement 
for STRPCCMD is a 5250 emulator that supports it.

iSeries Access, Rumba, MochaSoft, and TN5250 (the open source one) all 
support it for sure, and I suspect that just about every other emulator 
out there does.  (Though, I'm not sure about tn5250j)

Granted, it won't work with an actual green screen terminal -- but since 
you can't run a browser on a 5250 terminal, that's really a non-issue.

Consider taking a few minutes to try a very simple program and see if it 
works in your emulator:

    PGM
         STRPCO
         MONMSG IWS4010
         STRPCCMD PCCMD('start http://www.midrange.com') +
                  PAUSE(*NO)
    ENDPGM

Run this little CL program. It'll take you two minutes to install it and 
try it.

(If you're running the open-source TN5250, you'll need to be running the 
current version in CVS, and have +allow_strpccmd in your tn5250rc file.)
