7) Additional Workstation ID support

  A new and non-arbitrary device name will be generated
  for each session, without the requirement of workstation
  profile customization or the use of a complicated
  user exit program.

  The TN5250 client will automatically derive a device
  name by using the client's Windows Computer Name or
  Windows User Name as a seed value.  The client will
  also be able to increment and resubmit the device name
  if the previously derived value was rejected by the
  server.

  This enhancement applies to both display and printer
  sessions.

  Example:
  Workstation ID=[+][%](workstation_name/&COMPN/&USERN)[*][=]

  - Anything between a bracket pair "[ ]" means the symbol is
    optional.
  - Anything between a set of parens "(  )"means you need to
    select one of the options.
  - Options are separated by slashes "/".
  - Options must be specified as listed in the order specified
    above.

  Description of parameters:
  - workstation_name = Use hardcoded workstation id
     (for example "WS1") for Workstation ID.
  - "&COMPN" means use Windows Computer Name for Workstation ID
  - "&USERN" means use Windows Users Name for Workstation ID.
  - "+" means, if Computer name or Users Name is greater than
    10 characters, truncate extra characters from end.  If not
    specified, characters will be truncated from the beginning.
  - "%" means preface workstation name with "P" for printer
    and "S" for display session.
  - "*" means append session id (eg, A, B, C, etc) to
    Workstation Name.
  - "=" means append "1" to workstation ID and if ID is
    in use, increment appended number by one (increments go
    from 1-9, then from A-Z).
