Each instance of A-Shell is assigned a unique console device name. An instance may be a user terminal, or a window, for example. This console device name is used in conjunction with the TRMDEF commands in miame.ini in order to determine the AMOS-style job and terminal name to be assigned. When networks are involved, or Microsoft Windows, the console device name is not necessarily fixed, and can be assigned dynamically by the operating system. In order to assist in the construction of the TRMDEF entries, the -d switch may be used, which causes A-Shell to display the currently assigned console device name. Note that you can also display device names using SYSTAT/C.
