604.0. "per-user session mgr???" by ALFAM7::URBAN () Mon Feb 17 1997 12:37

    I'm getting tired of selecting Options->Session->dxsession every
    time I login, but I can't make the change globally.  Is it possible
    to set the session manager on a per-user basis? If not, why not?
    if so, please tell me how!
    
    thanks,
    
    Rob Urban
