@oddhack@mstdn.social I haven't used RMS, but in the case of things like ISPF it's always fun for me when people are shocked by new/different features 😄
ISPF may have roots that go back to 1974, but it's still updated based on client feedback alongside IBM z/OS, which had a release back in September. ISPF even got new a service in that release!

@pleia2@floss.social after spending a summer at Amdahl working on their Unix port to 370 clones, I came back and put the VM/CMS XEDIT's ALL feature into my text editor (still my daily driver 46 years after it was written by another student). But I admit to not much other mainframe XP beyond a summer writing APL in a 370 COBOL shop.
