Straight 5250. I'm using the session sizes stored in the LastView

The weird thing now is that I have four sessions, and two seem to be
working.

I have two .WS files. I use them to launch four sessions from my
startup batch file. The first two are on one .WS and that does NOT
work. The second two are on the other .WS file and they DO work. The
first .WS is significantly different (shorter) than the second, and I've
tried methodically copying parts from the second to the first. I get
some forward movement, and then it seems to revert. Two steps forward,
one step back.

The really odd thing is that at one point, all four sessions showed up
in the same position. Now I've gotten it to where they show up in the
four quadrants of the screen like I want them to, but the first two show
up as 476 pixels high, the second two show up at 526.

Three steps back. My two .WS files behave independently, but incorrectly. Both sessions for each one end up in the same position - that is, sessions A and B for the first .WS show up in the upper left, while C and D for the second .WS show up in the lower right. They also have the wrong height. So I don't get it, but perhaps I'll try the view thing later. And when I get a moment I'll try to send a note to IBM.
