I'm with you on this - and you haven't even mentioned the Copy Append 
and Paste Next options - along with setting the option of keeping the 
trim rectangle around after a Copy, well, you have a very flexible 
Copy/Paste setup that no other emulator has.

I do wish CA would wrap to the beginning of the next line, not 
immediately below the cursor. I've never seen a way to make this work. 
It can take customers really by surprise, sometimes!

Now is it a pleasant time to paste a 500-line source into 25 pages? No, 
but there is RDp for that, which I'll normally use now. Or RPGNextGen, 
which I've offered to our tech support, who don't need all the stuff I 
need in WDSC, such as SCM plugins.

But I will go with CA (actually, for license reasons, my own copy of 
Personal CommunIcations 5250) anytime, for the macro facility in 
particular, the likes of which I've not seen elsewhere.

But not everyone needs the macro stuff, so Mocha is fine, TN5250J would 
be fine, too, I assume.

If anyone is interested, you can modify the CA keyboard to make things 
more windoze-like - Ctrl X/C/V plus Ctrl-A for copy append and Ctrl-N 
for Paste Next. And you can add to the tool bar, so that recording and 
playing macros can be controlled completely. Anyone who asks privately, 
I'll send keyboard and toolbar files. Of course, it's easy enough to 
modify them yourself, once you know it can be done. I don't have any of 
this for the other emulators, though.
