It is. z/OS 1.8 added 3.17 (UDLIST).  In 1.9 all panels can access unix
files / directories and there is some help for ascii translation.

Why 2 3270 sessions?  When I want 3270 I use ISHELL (or one of the ISPF
extentions), if I want a unix shell I telnet into z/OS UNIX.   Any decent
telnet 
client (not the win-doze one) will allow you to scroll back and forth and you
can use editors like VI and EMACS from a telnet session.  The setup to telnet
directly into z/OS UNIX is very simple.  Ocassionally I use TSO OMVS if I
only need a shell for a short period of time.
