Yeah that one: full screen sent down from the mainframe on the beginning of a page-interaction, then only the parts of the screen that need to be changed are sent over the wire based on commands and input. With CICS it was all about reducing the number of bits moving over the wire to an absolute minimum which isn't the case here but partial screen replacement without refreshing or reloading the entire page is very reminiscent of the design.
Could you elaborate?
