It's really TSO that does not, no? If I could just sign onto TSO multiple

multiple sessions I could use.

And I suppose one could argue semantics here. One could argue both ISPF and
the 3290 support "split screen."

An example of how IBM hardware design outpaces its software design.
A couple decades after an IBM terminal supported multiple sessions, ISPF
doesn't support a user's having multiple sessions.
