thank you Marshall,

I bet others are wondering how I have not been exposed to RDI after so many
years.  Well, I have many times and always revert back to PDM/SEU.
Trust me, it does not get in my way of building modernized applications on
the i.
Funny note, I literally have my client access keyboard mapping to that of a
dumb terminal and I'm extremely efficient that way (and in SEU).

Nonetheless, I do have RDI at my disposal and will go sign into it and I'll
look at starting a JAVA project... but only if I had some RDI/Java tutorial
to go along with it now.

Thanks

Jay
