Symantec pcAnywhere lets you run multiple remote sessions at a time. By default,
the Session Manager window displays your active sessions in a single window in
a tabbed view. Each host computer to which you are connected is represented by
a tab so that you can quickly switch between active sessions. The Home tab lets
you go back to the pcAnywhere Manager window (for example, to connect to
another computer). You can change the default settings to display each session
in a separate Session Manager window.
See "Changing how active sessions appear in the Session Manager" on page 60.
You can switch between active sessions in the Session Manager window, but you
can view only one session at a time. To view multiple sessions at a time, you can
use Symantec pcAnywhere CrossPlatform.
See "About Symantec pcAnywhere CrossPlatform" on page 239.
By default, the Session Manager window displays your active sessions in a single
window in a tabbed view. You can change the default settings to display each
session in a separate Session Manager window.
The pcAnywhere Manager window is also kept open by default so that you can
perform other tasks (for example, to connect to another computer). If you set the
Session Manager window to use the tabbed view, the pcAnywhere Manager window
is represented in the Session Manager window as the Home tab.
