two submenus can be used to generate or delete groups of sessions, connections and
foreign sessions in a targeted manner.

The following dialog window opens when the Link>Create Some menu is called:
Figure 32 Dialog window: Create links
Patterns can be entered in each of the From Pattern and To Pattern input fields
that define a group of applications for which sessions, connections or foreign sessions
are to be created.
WinConfig supports the following metacharacters in the patterns:
* Any number of characters
? Exactly one character
. ORing of two patterns
For example, the a*.b? pattern represents all applications that start with an a as well
as all applications that start with a b, followed by any other letter.
The third input field defines the protocol used (default: LU6.1). The From->To and
To-> From input fields specify the number of connections checked by the source appli-
cation or target application respectively (default: 1 each). These two parameters are
only of importance for sessions and foreign sessions. There are of no importance for a
connection.
WinConfig displays the number of sessions, connections or foreign sessions created
using the Create links dialog in the sixth, seventh and eighth lines of the window.
