     Pat,

     Integrated Development Environment - is just that. An Environment where
     we
     can do MANY things at once. (not sure about InteRgrated :-). Instead of
     SEU-RPG, then compile, then debug, then SEU-DDS, then compile, then....
     we
     can see ALL of these source members at once, and we can perform all of
     these
     tasks from a single place.

     WDSc is an IDE - PDM is not.

     It is my opinion that WDSc is a better tool. I assumed it would help
     improve
     programming techniques for most programmers. With the backlash here, I
     see
     that is not the case.

     Trevor
