Thanks, Larry. Sounds tolerable & maybe IBM will eventually make it work
the way you'd like it. -Marty

Pete and I have talked about this. The problem isn't that you can't
start a 5250 session its HOW you start them. If you are working directly

on the HMC and you start up a partition you get a check box that says
'Crank up a console session?' that you may use. When you are attached to

the HMC remotely then the box is grayed out and you need to open said
session manually with your favorite 5250 emulator. Once opened it works
perfect and you soon don't care how it got opened.

So all the function IS there it's just not as friendly as we both agree
it should be.

Just so IBM doesn't get the idea that we should be FORCED through the
GUI to get a console session we shouldn't. We like the ability to open a

5250 session to the HMC, pick an i5, pick a partitioin, and get a
console session but we wish the check box was allowed in addition to
this through the GUI.
