That is correct. We tried the standard PDF and ISPF, and they only produced the single session with the primary option menu. Only ISPSTART caused the trouble. I haven't looked in the doc to see if there is some sort of cozy relationship between ISPSTART and the ZSTART profile variable, but it appears so.

PDF and ISPF won't give you the same defaults as ISPSTART, so it definitely 
matters whether the OP types ISPSTART or an alias of ISRPCP.

Does this happen with all ispf aliases (PFG ISPF, etc.)? What happens if he
starts ispf with a different APPL name (aka NEWAPPL(xxx))?

 ISRPCP calls ISPSTART under the covers; they are both commands and are
 either in the LPA or the link list.

 The TSO logon script dumps the user to a READY prompt. Then the user
 selects either a specific application command for special processing or
 ISPSTART to get into ISPF. I don't see a special ISPSTART Clist/Rexx
 program in his Sysproc or Sysexec, so there must be something happening
 with ISPSTART.
