Tab sessions on PCOMM (like HOD)

It would be very helpful if PCOMM could display all active sessions as tabs within a single window, similar to how HOD does. Currently, a separate window is required for each new session launched. As a mainframe operator, I need to log in to multi...

Allow paste to overwrite to end of line

Other 3270 emulators, such as Attachmate Extra! have the ability for a paste to overwrite to end of line, and not just by the length of the copied data. I would like to see this ability in PCOMM. When copying data, you should be able to flag a set...

Make larger fonts available

With the advent of larger Personal Computer screens, it would make sense to allow larger fonts to be used. For example, I have a with a resolution of 1920x1080. If I want PCOM to use the full screen, the terminal window can take up the full screen...

Allow input fields to always be high lighted
