I'd like feedback from any of you who have used the shl command
(shell layers) on your systems.  For what purposes are you
currently employing it?

Does it require a lot of system overhead?  I realize you
have to re-link the kernel to turn on the layers.  Is it worth
investigating?  We have users who would benefit from having multiple
sessions into our network (3270 bi-sync) and I thought that the shl
command with virtual terminals might provide an efficient means for the 
users to "window" between their respective network sessions.

Also, have any of you used multi-view?  Or facetterm?  Any comments
on these packages would be helpful also.  Please respond to me via
e-mail.  Thanks.
