If you want to 'jump out' of any program to do something else and return
 to where you left off there are at least two easy solutions which do
 not involve changing anything in the program.
(1) This is the obvious one. Use a terminal which can support multiple
 sessions. Simply STOP your program with control/Y and select another
 session. Ethernet terminal services, in addition to many other terminal
 switching systems, can support multiple sessions. When you've done, return
 to the first session and type CONTINUE .
(2) The second solution which can be used from a terminal supporting only
 one session is to do the following.
 Make the terminal DISCONNECT. Allow the user to DISCONNECT in the UAF.
 The user then simply follows a procedure similar to the above i.e.
 Control/Y and DISCONNECT.
 Login again as a new process and 'do your thing'.
 Logout and login again to reconnect to the original process.
 Type CONTINUE.
 
Easy? !
