Mark, its clear and possible. It is not as intuitive as it can be and
eventually
will be, but here are the steps:
  -> look in the dropdown in the title bar of the Remote Systems view,
        and select the "Show Filter Pools" action.
  -> In each connection, right-click on iSeries Objects to create a new
        filter pool.
  ->Create the filters you want in each filter pool (via right click New
action on
        the pool).
  ->That's it for filters... the trick is filters live in pools, and pools
can be referenced
        by one or more connections. By default they go in the default pool
which is
        always referenced by every connection.
       By creating a new filter pool, it is only referenced by the
connection you
         create it in by default (you can always add a reference to an
existing pool
         if you want to subsequently share the filters in more than one
connection)
    ->As for library list information and such, select the Properties
action on the
        connection, and set the information there via the SubSystems node.
This
        info is per connection.
     ->Once you have connections tailored to your particular scenario, you
can
        create iSeries Projects, one per connection, inheriting that info,
if you like.
