Bring the Host Connection Emulator HCE back into IDz. Its just better than RCE

Bring the Host Connection Emulator HCE back into IDz. Its just better than RCE. Our developers are used to HCE and what it offers. RCE is just not at its level and therefore the developers won't switch to IDz 16.0 unless the HCE is in there.

    I cannot specify the LU when setting up the connection which is essential in our shop to access a CICS region. Without that, I basically have to use PCOMM for this purpose.

    Significant performance degradation in RCE vs HCE.
    Top controls banner reduces real estate for the window which is already at a premium.
    No context menu for cut and paste, etc.
