Tim, you are right that we spent some time on this, but I think we did discover a way to do it. I bet Dave Caldwell may remember it too. It is painful but this is how we did it from ICC and/or maybe IACC. We did this when the process was down. Not sure what a delete/undelete does to the FBM values when running but it may not be good. From the ECB COMPOUND * Select the FBM you want at the top of the list and pick delete/undelete. (this moves that FBM to the end of the FBM list in System Monitor.) * Select the FBM you want to be shown next and do delete/undelete. (that moves it to the end in SysMon with the previous one just above it.) * continue until every FBM has been deleted and undeleted and the first one you did will be first in System Monitor and the last will be at the end of the list. Tim is right about the logical address. I don't think you can change it and I can't remember if the delete/undelete reassigned that or not. This is the only way I know to do this Dave. I hope somebody knows an easier way. For stations other than FBM's like CP's and such there are some files that can be editted to arrange order of the different system monitors and stations under each system monitor. My memory is fuzzy on this but I think Duc has a write up. I think the files are in /opt/fox/sysmgm/sysmon or /usr the same. Duc, can you help with this?

Tom Vandewater and I spent an afternoon in Hawaii, if you can imagine that, trying to re-arrange FBMs in SysMon, and nothing worked. There is a magic number called Logical Address that cannot be altered by the user. This address determines the order in which you see the FBM.
