One more MeToo

An operator left a terminal signed on in a user area, they were working on a printer issue.

So the terminal was left at the "SYSTEM" menu.
A user cam in and needed their VDU and since it was not at the signon screen, took option 60 then with no better option to take, option 80, it seemed to be a logical choice for the user. for the system, not so much.
