This may be the most concise representation of the benefits of EGL I've 
seen to date.  The ability to see fields in your RPG program while 
editing your Dreamweaver page - that's what EGL provides.  And in fact, 
it's bidirectional - while you're editing the page, you can add a field 
that would then be automatically available in the RPG program.

In fact, it's very much like adding a field to a display file using SDA 
- it's automatically available in your RPG program.  It's even easier in 
EGL.
