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.

Subject: Re: ISPF startup processing
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.
