Configuring session on Z and I Emulator for Windows (ZIEWin)
Z and I Emulator for Windows saves emulator configuration information to a workstation profile (.WS). Depending on your Z and I Emulator for Windows configuration, you might have a workstation profile only or both workstation profile and a configuration file. The workstation profile can be used later by other Z and I Emulator for Windows sessions, or to restart this session.

- From the Start menu, click Programs -> HCL Z and I Emulator for Windows -> Start or Configure Sessions.
