"virtual console" is not a valid concept for VM CP. "CONSOLE 009 3215" has
nothing to do with a console. Have you ever tried adding both "CONSOLE 009
3215" and "CONSOLE 3E1 3270" to the same user. I'm guessing that VM allows
multiple CONSOLE statements. If you try it, can you let us know the results
because I'm now curious about it. "CONSOLE 03E1 3270" means create device
address 3E1 and use DIAG 58 to display data received on this address and send
to 3E1 all changes to the screen using a 3270 data stream. In z/OS, 3E1 could
be connected to anything for example VTAM. In your case, there is a definition
in PARMLIB(CONSOL##) that tells the console address space to use 3E1 as a z/OS
console. "CONSOLE 009 3215" means create device address 009 and all data
received is forwarded to CP to be displayed by CP and commands returned to 009.
Do you consider that CMS interacting with a console or a terminal. In z/OS, we
have TSO which does the same thing but we call it a terminal instead of
console.

I will, when I can--maybe this weekend! That might be the answer, because the
original directory entry (I'm told) had the virtual console at 0009, but the
CONSOLxx has it at 03E1.
