Sessions	If you connect to a TN5250 server using a definition that contains an IP
	address, the emulator will open up an initial TN5250 session (emulator-
	opened session) using that IP address. That session will be placed in the
	Sessions list in the Sessions menu, as the initial open session (see Chapter 2,
	“The Menu System,” for more information).
	If you try to connect to a server using a definition that does not contain an IP
	address, you will not connect. Instead, the emulator will display the TN5250
	menu system, allowing you to create a session (user-opened session). Once a
	session is created, you can then connect and run your session.
	A session must be opened to use TN5250 terminal emulation. This section
	discusses both emulator-opened sessions and user-opened sessions.
