And thanks to the URL somebody provided "direct" to _SNA Formats_, I
found what I was looking for (the SLU name is in the CINIT, not the
BIND). The only piece still "missing" is how VTAM constructs the APPCLU
resource name from which to extract the SESSKEY value. That might be
"buried" in one of the SNA Programming manuals, but if so I haven't
found it yet.
