    How does ZAP determine which parameter has priority over another?
    Is it determined by which parameter it "reads" last, or first?
    
    For instance:
    In one case I have ZAP set so that anyone who is running RTPAD will
    be allowed 30 minutes idle time, but at the same time I have a
    particular terminal set to 15 minutes idle time, I have also set
    the image on that terminal to a wildcard(*).
    
    Now in the case above, which will happen first, the 15 minute timeout
    because of the terminal assignment or the 30 minute timeout because
    of the image RTPAD?
    
    Thanks..
    		Frank.

|     The order that exception records are utilized is determined by which
    record is read FIRST in the Zap exception file (ZAP$DIR:ZAP.DAT).
    
    For example:
    
    [*,*]	RTPAD		all		30		warning
    [*,*]	*		_TTA1:		15		warning
    
    This would result in the terminal having a 15 minute timeout except
    when it is running RTPAD.  At that time, it would have a 30 minute
    timeout.
    
    If the exception records were reversed, then it would always have
    a 15 minute timeout.
