Hi, Yes, but it matters which terminal emulator you are using, and if you can get your hands on a set of scripts that help you work with the environment, that would even be better. There used to be someone named Glen Sepke who had an excellent set of scripts that work with those environments. The biggest thing, though is the environment. The scripts do make you much more efficient. Once yyou get there, Cobol is all text.
