Run a series of predefined and tested TrueCopy for Mainframe operations after hours or

Allow a non-resident system administrator to set up and start an entire day's worth of TrueCopy
for Mainframe operations in the limited time that the administrator is on-site.

windows while the scripting function is being executed. To perform operations on the TrueCopy
for Mainframe windows, wait until the script is complete, or make sure that the script in execution
