Hi Rob,
Thanks for the reply. I have reinstalled iSeries Access V7R1. IBM iAccess for Wndows Properties shows Version 7 Release 1. In Session Manage, Help->About shows Personal Communications iSeries Access for Windows, Session Manager, Version 6.0 for Windows, 20091005 S.
With this version, I still get the PCSKD110 Error when I try to open a session. When I Start a New Session, I get error "PCSWS037 - Initialization of the keyboard table failed. The session may not be fully operational." This error occurs on Windows 7 and on Windows 10 with Mac OS Sierra and Parallels 12. Prior the upgrade to Sierra on El Capitan and Parallels 10, everything worked just fine.
I was able to get a copy of IBM i Access Client Solution. I selected install_acs_64.js to get the 64-bit version, but it appears to have installed the 32-bit version. Help->About shows IBM i Access Client Solutions 32-bit, V1.1.4, Build ID 5290, July 13, 2015.
I was able to configure a new session and it works fine! Now, I can create the other sessions to the various systems.
Don't understand why the prior version does not work for me. A colleague of mine is also using Sierra and Parallels 12 and he is not having this problem with V7R1. I will be interested to see what Parallels comes back with. If they get back to me.
Regardless, it looks like I have a solution.
Thanks very much for your recommendation.

What I was looking for was: What client are you trying? The deprecated
IBM i Access for Windows? Or the newer IBM i Access Client Solutions?
Closest I could find in your reply was: "iSeries Access 5.9". I know
that this is a nonexistent product but I tried to see this through your
eyes. I figured "common mistake, person does help about on a 5250 screen
and thinks the version there is the version of IBM i Access". It isn't,
but that does tell me two things. One, you're trying the deprecated
stuff. Two, you're running an older version of the deprecated stuff.
If I do a help about on a 5250 screen from IBM i Access Client Solutions I
get 1.1.6.0 which actually pertains to the version of IBM i Access Client
Solutions.
If I do a help about on a 5250 screen from the deprecated 7.1.0 SI56695 it
says I am running 6.0 which is newer than your 5.9.
You may want to try the newer IBM i Access Client Solutions and see if
that helps. If not, ditch that Mac and get a computer. :-)
Look for "Download IBM i Access Client Solutions base package" at:
