In case this is causing confusion to some readers, the Session Manager that 
includes the SMCOPY command, which was mentioned earlier, has nothing to do 
with multiple sessions. There is a chapter about it in the TSO/E User's Guide.

Session manager is the equivalent of running multiple TN3270 session. Think of 
it �Nothing more so it doesn't have anything to do with single user signon for 
TSO.�

As far as TSO COPY, it is so heavily used that IBM could not withdraw it. I 
don't know if it's still priced.
