    Abstract: PURPOSE: To support the plural display sessions of a non-programmable terminal by a single address. CONSTITUTION: This is a method and device for supporting plural display sessions by a single address in non-programmable terminals(NPT) 14 connected with a host computer 12 by a work station controller(WSC) 18. The WSC 18 enables the divided addressing of the plural display sessions of the NPT 14. The WSC 18 changes a focus on one selected from among the plural display sessions in response to focus change from the NPT 14 and the reception of a data stream for the requested display session which is not provided with the focus from the host computer. The NPT 14 has the focus on one display session in an active state for a user interface, and a different display session for communicating with the host computer 12. Thus, this can be transparent to a user and the host computer 12.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for supporting multiple display sessions through a single address on a non-programmable-terminal (NPT) attached to a host computer by a work station controller (WSC). The WSC enables shared addressing of multiple display sessions on the NPT. The WSC changes focus to a selected one of the multiple display sessions responsive to receiving from the host computer a data stream for a requested display session not having the focus and responsive to receiving a change focus request from the NPT. The NPT may have one display session active for the user interface and a different display session having the focus communicating with the host computer, which is transparent to the user and to the host computer.
