I haven't had the chance to test web-facing yet, so I have to
take your word for it... but it doesn't seem reasonable.

Are you saying that standard IBM menus aren't supported under
web-facing? or that many other IBM-supplied panels aren't
supported -- standard help text being a major example? I'd been
led to believe that many IBM-supplied panels were UIM; but you're
saying none of this works under web-facing?

I know previously that older offerings such as Graphical Access
would support UIM panels as long as the ENBGUI=YES keyword value
was specified on the :PNLGRP tag (and one or two minor details
were avoided). This was true even when DDS display files were not
displayed graphically in the same session.

If what you're saying is true, then web-facing must be very
different in how it sees the data stream.
