RE: Green screen - it's time is over/CODE/400

[Joel Fritz <JFritz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been using Code 400 in WDT 4.5 (sp2) for a couple of months now and it
mostly works.  If I took the trouble to learn more than the basics it would
be a lot faster than SEU.  As it is, having spent about ten minutes studying
it, I can do a lot of things faster.  Being able to tab from one position to
the next when editing RPG source without going into prompt mode makes me
very happy.  Designer makes me want to use externally defined print files.

I like it.  Verify doesn't seem any slower than a regular compile, but I'm
always connected to the 400 when I use it.
