No, you cannot logon to one userid when logged onto another. When already logged on, the process is CP LOGoff (or CP DISConnect). Then you get a logo screen and can logon using LOGONBY. Personally, I'd just clear the logon screen, and logon from a blank screen.
The command entry from a cleared logo screen would be: LOGON MAINT BY youruserid your password Once you get past that, you can experiment with ways to reduce the number of individual commands.

Am I logged on with my user id and password then from there logonby to another machine such as MAINT? Or do I just logon to MAINT using LOGONBY with my personal user id's password?

A lot of this becomes a moot point when you have passwords in plain text...
