Problem summary

  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * All IBM Personal Communications users                        *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * PCOMM has registry key "LastExitViewFromINI" to allow font   *
  * settings from PCOMM sessions (.WS file) and use the          *
  * Last-Exit View data from the PCSWIN.INI. However, user is    *
  * unable to modify the registry key due to limited access.     *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  PCOMM unable to use the font settings from PCOMM sessions (.WS
  file) due to limited user access to modify the registry key
  "LastExitViewFromINI"
  
  There is no custom setting from PCOMM User Interface to modify
  the registry key "LastExitViewFromINI" setting.
  

Problem conclusion

• Introduced a customize setting in PCSWIN.INI to take precedence
  over the registry setting.
  [Window]
  LastExitViewFromINI=Y
  Y - Saved font settings from INI file
  N - Saved font settings from PCOMM sessions
  
  The below setting is used to change the default session font
  setting to "IBM3270"
  [FONT]
  UseDefaultFontIBM3270=N
  Y - To make new session default font as "IBM3270"
  N - To make new session default font as "PCOMMSession"
