Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of the Host Access Toolkit and HACL    *
  *                 creating multiple un-named Terminal objects  *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Macros do not play on the right         *
  *                      terminal if multiple un-named           *
  *                      terminals are created                   *

  In HOD v9, a feature to support multi-session macros
  was added.  It introduced a concept of Host ID which is a
  moniker derived from the session name and session ID. A
  host ID identifies a session.  Whenever a macro is played,
  it is played against a session with a specific host ID.
  When terminals do not assign a session Name and/or session
  ID, the underlying session defaults to the host ID
  "A:A".  When multiple un-named terminals are created, all
  of their sessions default to the same host ID.  This causes
  any macro to play on the last connected un-named Terminal
  irrespective of the un-named Terminal it was wired agaist.
  
  Note that this is not a problem if you have your
  Terminals/Sessions named.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code was modified so that un-named Terminals do not default
  to the same HostId.
  

Temporary fix
