Oooo scary.  The options under right-click/New on the iSeries Objects branch
are completely different depending on whether the Show Filter Pools option
is selected.  I have to go down another level (to the filter pool) to get
all the options I normally see under New at the iSeries Objects level.

I don't know whether I like this behavior or not, but I guess it makes
sense.  It definitely can make it a little confusing.

The connection per project approach makes a lot of sense if your initial
session setup for each project is different; by using the initial library
list or initial program on the connection you can make sure your connection
is properly configured for each project.  Me, I'm talking about having
different filters for different applications within an application suite, as
well as for different versions for historical or comparative purposes, so I
need lots of filters in one connection.  So yes, I'd still like the full
directory structure.
