It is mostly your work Kenneth.  The idea I have for it is to resolves 
some of the remaining issues regarding the use of keys and particularly 
navigation with cursor movement keys, which is common in 5250 but rare 
in HTML.  Where I saw the biggest issues was in text editing, like using 
SEU.  Made it a challenge to navigate.

If I went with JSON and a small JS library at the browser to do the 
rendering, then we might have a GUI and a non-GUI mode where you could 
choose to either render the entire 5250 screen or just send the field 
references and keystrokes.  The latter method could be used to enter and 
retrieve data from a 5250 program using AJAX "behind the scenes" without 
a traditional 5250 front end.  You could "modernize" a 5250 application 
by using JSON/AJAX behind a browser app.  Might be useful.

Anyway, I HOPE to have some time in the future to check it out and do 
some experimenting and prototyping.  Right now I am too busy to do much 
more than give it an occasional "think".

That is sweet.  Did not get to play with it too much but nice going.

I have enjoyed the JQuery interface with AJAX.  Never really took a look 
at GWT after working with that one.  Guess I just became used to the 
JQuery and never looked at any of the others.
