If they don't need the system in a restricted state, then it doesn't have 
to be a system console.

Frankly I don't find the HMC that hard to use.  However, I do have 
programmers that I can start all 5250 sessions needed for the lpars 
involved and they can still muck it up so obviously, yes, some programmers 
will have issues with it.  Generally these are the ones who still use SEU 
and have never coded a subprocedure in RPG.

If they do need it in a restricted state, and they are not fearful of 
simple iSeries Access 5250 sessions, then there is a neat thing you can do 
with the HMC.  You can configure it, and iSeries access to take control of 
the 5250 session so therefore they never have to touch the HMC.  I do this 
so that I can take control of a hmc controlled system console from my 
home.  Although I did have to whomp on the one programmer who killed the 
5250 session on the hmc and restarted it as 'dedicated' instead of 
'shared' and thus forced me to drive in because they had a hard time 
interpreting a job log.
