Multisessions
R E S U M E
The RESUME command reopens the previous session from within the window when you enter it, if you enter it without arguments. When you enter the RESUME command with a session number, host name, or service name, it reopens the session you specify at the window where you entered the command, even if you did not establish the session from that window.
The RESUME command does not reopen a session that currently appears in a window. If you attempt to do this, an error message appears on the screen.
SHOW SESSIONS
When the MULTISESSIONS characteristic is enabled at a port, the SHOW SESSIONS command displays the window number where a session appears. Figure

The
SHOW/LIST PORT CHARACTERISTICS
When the MULTISESSIONS characteristic is enabled at a port, the LIST/SHOW PORT CHARACTERISTICS display indicates this. The MULTISESSIONS characteristic appears in the list of enabled characteristics at the bottom of the display.
Using Session Management Characters Within Windows
You can use session switching and Telnet management control characters from within windows, just as you would at a terminal that did not support the MULTISESSIONS characteristic. The local switch character calls up the Model 3395/3395A command processor at the window where you hit the character. The forward switch and backward switch characters behave somewhat differently from within windows, and these differences are described below. Chapter 2 explains session management control characters in detail.
All VT330 and VT420 terminals have a <Break> key. If the <Break> key is set to LOCAL at your port, you can use it to suspend a session in a window, just as you would on a terminal without windows.
