John,
You may be right about BlueZone's session manager. But I/we must be careful/explicit in the use of our terms in trying to describe this.
What I have found/used the BlueZone session manager for is to be able to have multiple TN3270/E sessions open and connected concurrently to all of our LPARs at different geographical locations (IP addresses) at the same time. I only have one session per LPAR open at any given time. I see no reason why you could not have more than one session open to a given LPAR at a time. You would just have to define a different session to the manager for the same LPAR (IP address). I believe that the session manager allows 99 concurrent sessions. That's more that my feeble mind could ever keep track of so I don't see this as a limitation - of course, YMMV. If you mean "jumping" from one session to another within a single invocation of the TN3270 application, then, no, I don't think BlueZone will do this. Then again, I never tried this approach since I only need one session per LPAR to begin with, BlueZone may do this, I just never investigated this approach.
You can download a trial version of BlueZone for free. I think this is their web based version as opposed to what I have. Try it out. Their URL is seagullsw.com.
Hope this helps.

Based on the product list he is talking about the "jumping" within a
single invocation of a 3270 session type of session manager, not
multiple emulator sessions. Which BlueZone can does.
BlueZone will allow you to have multiple session to a single LPAR. We
do have the demo and have been playing with it for a few weeks now.
Even though we do have NetView Access, we have some users that want
multiple 3270 emulators open so that they can compare information. We
also have some users (customers) that have not figured out how to jump
from one session to another so they have mutltiple 3270 emulators open
so they can be in multiple appications at the same time.
