Re: "Naming" a PC5250 Device (session) in CA NT...

[Chuck Lewis <CLEWIS@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Yep, guess I wasn't thinking of it that way, but makes sense, although you 
would think that based on other configuration options, it
would present a screen that was relevan/intelligent... :-)

This reminds me of the trouble we had several years back with assigning namez 
to OS/2 PC5250 machines (don't laugh, our R&D group is
using a TON of them...) with Client Access. On the Windows version of PC5250 
you could click on Communications and Configure and put a
name in there. No go on OS/2 (there was no Save As option...). I talked to IBM 
and got the OS/2 Comm Mgr C/A folks. When I told them
what I wanted to do, they said it couldn't be done. When I described how it 
worked with Windows PC5250, he seemed receptive and in
agreement that that made sense but said that they were TWO DIFFERENT GROUPS... 
and that is why PC5250 was not the same...

Eventually a contractor that is working for us figured out how to do this in 
OS/2...

Thanks !

Chuck
