Hi Ron, Thanks for the info. I was curious what exactly changes when you change the user options. I realized that the user's directory entry changes when you issue the USEROPTN command. The last record changes to something like:
*DVHOPT LNK0 LOG2 RCM0 SMS0 NPW1 LNGAMENG PWC20030317 CRC"ยค I guess "LOG2 RCM0" means logging and received messages are OFF. Is that what you have for all your VSE guests?

I was happy just to find out how to to turn it off and stop bugging my VSE guests with all those AUTONAME jobs whenever I changed their directories.
