And don't forget 'q ring' to see what files are in your top ring. BTW, once you have a ring, some commands will cause a new ring to be created and push your current ring down. If you issue FILELIST or RDRLIST, and then start to xedit a new member(s). Those members will be in a new ring.
Sometimes you can forget that you already have a member, under xedit, and you have made changes to that member without saving them. Then you stack the ring and xedit the member again and make changes. The changes in that member will not include the changes made to that member in the lower level ring (as they were not saved). When you do a 'save' for the member in the top ring, it will save without any messages. However, as you terminate the top ring and pop the lower ring, if you try to save that member, you will get an error message (ssave or ffile, will save the member and wipe out the changes you made at the higher ring). Usually, when I get this I save the member under a different name, and then compare the two members to see what changes I really wanted. Tom Duerbusch THD Consulting If anyone ever sees my desk, you will understand that I might have xedit sessions up for days/weeks. I got interrupted by some higher priority work, and I just "stack". On Win/XP, I have I have 47 windows opened. 5 of them are TN3270 sessions. However each session is a TUBES (session manager) session. Right now, the session with the largest number of sessions, has 12 host sessions active.

There has to be an easy way to do this. On the command line: "x" Or you can set a PF key to "x".
