Whoa there, Jon. I thought I was "tying the bloody boat anchors to their
legs" (RPGers) when I said I would like to optionally turn the handler off,
and revert to 5250 last July :)

I don't think that was my quote but ...

There are (as Larry has mentioned) some folks (mostly ISVs) who need to be able to do both - even if for only a transitional period. But the circumstances I have come up against recently involve situations where a handler would be used to (for example) allow a printer report to be displayed in a browser. With that scenario there are going to be times when a "real" print is going to be needed.
