Hi Tony -

A couple of thoughts:

1. Have an autostart job in the subsystem which acquires the workstation,
then the workstation doesn't have to be signed on.

Option 1 is good, but on a PC you run the risk that someone could close the
window.

2. It is possible to create a sign-on display file which has the user-id
and password hard-coded, protected, and non-display so that all the user
has to do is press Enter.  You have to be creative to do this and still
keep the record format correct, but I did many years ago and it is
possible.

I really like option 2.  This would have to be in it's own interactive
subsystem, but this is a great solution.
