  2. Define a static TPX user with userid 'STORAGE'

    Make sure that this user:
    - has Security system = 'NONE'
    - has no timeout values either in user definitions nor in session definitions
    - is authorized for the TPXOPER DISPLAY command (This is based upon the assigned Operator Cmd Cls.)

    Define 2 sessions with Start at signon = 'Y' for this user:


    - a session to TPXDEMO
    - a session to TPXOPER with startup ACL/E = 'DSTORAGE'
