ISPF used to allow 32 logical screens; I have to check whether that has increased over the years. No session manager, no parallel TSO sessions. Just native ISPF.
I wrote a pair of REXX scripts to set up my ISPF/TSO environment and have made them available to my group. I'd like to include a few useful panels in separate logical screens. See the START and SWAP commands. Maybe I should suggest an ISPF dialog service equivalent to START. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

Is it ispf split screens, multiple parallell ispf sessions under one tso session (haven't heard about any such working) or multiple/parallell tso sessions? Do you allow modified ispf installation panels? Rexxes?
