Re: New ACS - Slow Startup & Loses Settings

Must be a slow laptop. It *does* take a while for the first start, ACS
seems to do a lot of install checks and actually save some state from them
for the day if you shut it down and restart it.

When you save preferences, you only get them back *if* you load the session
from the "5250 Session Manager".

If you just go to the main ACS window and choose the host and click on
"5250 Emulator" you get a clean session. As designed, so you can always get
a clean session.
