QSH is just a thin layer giving Unixy look of the world.  PASE (as far 
as I know) provides an AIX system interface but does not contain an AIX 
kernel (the system calls apparently is implemented by calling OS/400 
routines).

There is a "system" command which can do SOME stuff, but not edtf 
unfortunately.  I was wondering if some magic with

I have played with this.  The JVM's graphics part is just a straight 
port of the X11 code so you can run e.g. SwingSet demo just by setting 
the DISPLAY variable to an X server.

Don't think so.  The OS/400 way of thinking is so vastly different from 
the Unix way of thinking that that would be rather difficult.  The other 
way around is another matter - Unix is designed for dumb machinery so 
the requirements are pretty small - hence PASE :)


I'd just like for PASE programs to be able to access the display 
programatically - I can run an xterm so it should be possible one way or 
another.  Sigh.
