We are very new to ADSM so take any advice with LARGE AMOUNTS of
CAUTION.  :)

That said (and I have not tried this), how about piping your screen I/O to
a file.  When you want to see the status, view the file or a copy of it.  I
know some platforms let you copy a file in use.  Might be something to
try.  I will give it a shot tonight on my Win/NT and Unix systems to see if it
works.  On my NT and Win95 systems I perform:

dsmc incremental >c:\syslogs\dsmc.log
