Lets run with that idea for a moment, eh? "conversion to a web
interface"... What might that look like? Zero F-keys? Several layers
of drill-downs, with various channels of related interests grouped
together? Intuitive to the user? Low-to-none learning curve for the
user?
We can do the same things with 5250. Not graphically of course, but we
can take that 24 F-key jam-packed screen and break it down into a main
driver screen and a series of intuitively created green screens, each
one easy to understand and use, so any user can easily do the given task.
Add in the use of the enhanced features like check boxes, radio buttons,
real scroll bars, human-scaled subfiles. drop-down boxes of valid values
and you have a lively 5250 interface that is easy to use and allows
today's mouse-savvy use to click through every work day. Designing
interfaces for the highly trained keyboard user is spoooo 1980s; the
world has moved on to two-thumb typing.
After giving your users a design overhaul for a few simple projects you
will be asked for more by both users and bosses.

What options besides a Green Screen environment are available (if any)? Any chance of conversion to a web-interface?
