The new PC phrase (pun intended) is Intelligence Challenged Devices.

If you work in a GUI environment (for Graphical User Interface), then
the green screen is "chewy" - Character User Interface.

Joan,
 My misunderstanding, I thought you were referring to dumb terminals
when
you said green screen.  Good Luck!

Ed -

Client Access - this works fine in green screen, but all my users are
using
eWorkPlace, which has an internal TN5250 that apparently doesn't pick up
the
Client/Server runtime variables. I'm playing with it, though....

Joan,
Which emulation software are you running?  We are using NS/Elite and it
has
a provision to name the session instead of using the system-assigned
QPADEVXXX name.  Client Access has the same feature, I believe.
