I use WSA for performing file transfers all the time. It used to be I'd sometimes launch the 3270 emulator (in my case I use Vista TN3270) and perhaps not bother launching the workstation agent (WSA.EXE). But then, in the middle of an ISPF session I'd suddenly realize I need to transfer some files. And, with my memory being what it is, I'd sometimes forget I hadn't launched the WSA. So, I'd try to do a file transfer and of course nothing would happen. To solve this I created a .BAT file that launches both the emulator and WSA at the same time. I put a shortcut to the .BAT file on my desktop, and now I always click that one icon and it launches both the emulator and WSA. No more forgetting! If anyone else might find this useful here's the .BAT file:
@ECHO OFF REM This BAT file launches both the WSA and the host emulator.
