When this option is checked, it takes precedence over the session option (Setup, Sessions…, Setup Items = Host, Start in a new window). If this option is not checked, the session option determines whether or not a new window is created.
| • | Don't show session tabs (requires restart) |
Check this item to eliminate session tabs from the TN3270 Plus window. When this option is checked session tabs never appear. When this option is not checked, session tabs appear when you connect more than one session in a window. TN3270 Plus must be restarted for this option to take effect. See Working with Multiple Sessions for more information about connecting multiple sessions.
| • | Session tabs above terminal window (requires restart) |
Check this item to move the session tabs above the TN3270 Plus terminal window. When this option is not checked, session tabs appear below the TN3270 Plus terminal window.
