its possible that ua converted off pars in the last 30 years. don't really know. i believe that sabre evolved from & is originalybased on pars. however, my point was that the systems started w/lots of keystrokes & still have them. i haven't been close to airline computer systems since the early 70's & don't know what changes have been made. thanks for the info.
