I've been using little or no CL programming.  I've been using many
commands in RPGLE via the system() call.  As you know, you cannot prompt
commands in RPG thus I've gotten quite used to prompting my commands on a
5250 session and copying/pasting that into CODE.

WATCH YOUR SUBJECTS PLEASE!

Jeff,

>and used NOTEPAD.EXE, but the power of SEU is the command prompting,

But the argument here was for a free method of editing simple CL's used
for
automating tasks at clients who have no need for HLL compilers and the
full WDS
toolset.  Even Notepad will fill that bill.

For command prompting, use telnet session with a command line and prompt
the
desired command name.  Fill in with &var names as necessary and ignore the
warning it is not valid.  Then press F14 to get the command string
displayed.
Use copy & paste to copy that from the telnet session into Notepad or
wherever.

Remember, you did ask for low volume stuff.  If a site has enough change
volume
to warrant more than that, than they can license tools to do it.   One may
argue
they wish all licensed programs were included free in OS/400, but that is
hardly
reasonable.

Doug
