Re: handling handlers in RPG OA

I guess there must be 2 Jon Paris' then :)

Your printer example surely could be solved by the print key on a browser. Sure, I guess there are things that just should not be printed.

I'm still hopeful that the idea of making it easy to co-exist from one program get more traction. I'd have to go into a lot of details to convince you why I would have needed it, and I'm not doing that on this mailing list :)

Whoa there, Jon. I thought I was "tying the bloody boat anchors to their

I don't think that was my quote but ...

There are (as Larry has mentioned) some folks (mostly ISVs) who need to be able to do both - even if for only a transitional period. But the circumstances I have come up against recently involve situations where a handler would be used to (for example) allow a printer report to be displayed in a browser. With that scenario there are going to be times when a "real" print is going to be needed.
