How about setting the env.DEVNAME variable in .tn5250rc. That way only
the one session with that name can be running. I have this for my work
sessions and for my netshare account from home, as it has the advantage
of grabbing the same SQL session too. I don't know how feasible this is
for your lts, but it might be worth a try. It does involve setting
individual menu options/icons, though (sesion 1, session 2, etc).
