Since most people at P&H used 3278 Mod 2's, it didn't much matter, but yes - I believe it would be a good feature to be able to switch terminal sessions on the fly. I get hit with that all the time when I want to go from Mod 4 mode to Mod 5 or back. True. You can have an original session of 24x80 and then go to a 32x80 session on another workstation and continue there, but not from 32x80 to 24x80. I can't say about custom terminal geometry, for example 54x132. Just like Paul Gilmartin, I also want to have that cool z/VM command on z/OS and automatic geometry reformatting on z/OS.
