Are you sure that it isn't just how you configured your session manager. I know 
that with TPX I had to tweak ir for 3180 and 3290 support.

For the 3180 the issue was a primary size greater than 234x80, using a custom 
LOGMODE. For 3290 the issue was 62x80 with explicit partition support. In both 
cases the details were well documented.

Ha, I knew someone would ask that!

It is because non-standard logmodes are incompatible with our VTAM session 
management system, that allows for multiple sessions within one terminal.

But why not just open more terminals?

It is because a side effect of the session management is that without it, every 
time you exit TSO or IMS or CICS, it logs you completely out of the terminal 
session. With the session management it just takes you back to the session menu.

So, the reason I don't use GOFF is because then I'd have to login more often.

Why aren't you using a custom size like 50x160?  I use that every day, in both 
PCOMM and Vista TN3270.

Mod-5 size is far too small in my opinion -- only 27x132.

I hated the few times I tried to use x3270/wx3270 - totally unintuitive.

I can say that I don't use GOFF because it requires LIST(133), which would be 
OK except that we run the assembler listings through a program that adds 
cross-reference statement numbers to the right side of the listing, which 
increases the listing line size. LIST(121) listings are expanded to 133, which 
is fine. But GOFF listings are expanded to LRECL=145, which no longer fits in a 
mod 5 terminal.

What is your objection to GOFF and XOBJECT?
