Re: open and fill a new ACS window/session from an already open ACS session

lol...  I want to be clear, too.  Actually, I pretty much agree with 
Jon.   5250 and OS/2 are never coming back.  Their day in the sun has 
come and gone, same as mine.   Selling text-based anything today is not 
a good business plan.

On the other hand I am seeing companies promising to be off that old 
stuff by the end of the year...  well maybe the middle of next year. I 
first heard that song 25 years ago, and it's still being sung.   Nothing 
wrong with doing the stuff we can easily do.  Is there?  Give existing 
staff a ramp to the future; let them work through this new stuff at 
their own speed.  They have a lot of tribal knowledge, and that has 
value and we can honor it.
