And don't get me started on the TSO OMVS command (which I despise mainly due to the limitations of TSO 3270). Basically what I would like is to "invert" the "normal" process that I've seen - that being when when someone uses the TSO OMVS command under ISPF to do UNIX commands while staying in TSO. What I really want is to invoke ISPF from a UNIX prompt, replacing the 3270 terminal interface with either a "curses" (aka termcap) or a X11 terminal interface. Being able to do TSO commands under UNIX ISPF would also be nice. REXX under UNIX has a nice facility where it starts up a TSO address space when an ADDRESS TSO is first used in a REXX program; said TSO address space continues until explicitly shut down via a LOGOFF command or implicitly when the REXX program ends. -- I have a theory that it's impossible to prove anything, but I can't prove it.
