 >> I wished creating a plugin was similar to creating an lpexlet in
CODE/400.

I just wish it was as simple as doing it in CODE in Rexx!!  I just went
through Ian's article in iSeries mag on programming the jlpex editor.  It
took five source members and hundreds of lines of code to do what Rexx does
in about 10 lines of code - including the dialog box!

While I love the idea of being able to extend the editor, I _know_ I will do
it far less often because all of the "this will be useful today" type
programs that I can do with Rexx just aren't worth the effort of jumping
through all the hoops.  Unless I know that it represents a frequent use
function, I am not going to go to the bother.

I am trying very hard not to be a luddite, but I confess I do get ticked off
when perfectly good functionality is removed in the name of progress - and
the "progress" takes ten times longer to do anything!
