  This APAR tracks the release of CICS Explorer version 1.0.0.4.
  
  This update provides the following new functionality:
  
  * Ability to copy and paste resource definitions between
  different regions/plexes
    More Information: Search for "Copying and pasting resource
  definitions" in the CICS Explorer Help.
  * Ability to add a GROUP to a LIST
    Right-click on a group and select 'Add to List' from the
  context menu.
  * New Perform Operation dialog
    More Information: Search for "Performing actions against a
  resource" in the CICS Explorer Help.

  issued against multiple resources it displays the results of the
  action for each resource and stops if an update to a particular
  resource fails.
    More Information: Search for "Performing actions against a
  resource" in the CICS Explorer Help.
