My experience is once you have a Reflection session loaded, any second
window just pops right up, even when using different config files.
Say opposed to Minisoft/WS92 or QCTerm, both will happily pause at their
welcome displays before running the second instance.

I agree with previous posts that the most likely cause is reflections
trying to find the best network to use and it has to wait for a timeout
on, say NS/VT before it proceeds to try using Telnet.
However, it's also worth looking at the other software switches that
come with Reflections. From my fading memory there are some switches
(/S and /N ?) that prevent the pre-loading of rarely used modules. But
they're not that easy to find in the on-line help.
Also, how quickly does a second reflections session take before you get
the colon prompt ? if it takes the same amount of time then it's
probably the network handshake that's causing the problem. If the
second session loads much quicker then I guess it's just the PC's taking
time to allocate memory etc for the runtime.

I once had Reflection v.9 on a laptop, then someone got me to upgrade to
v.11.
After that Reflection startup was constipated. My guess it was software
bloat. In addition, the default download directory wasn't the same one
I was used to, boy was I p*ssed.
I've changed laptops since then but went back to Reflection v.9.
Wasn't there also an old trick that if you simply deleted the logo file,
that big graphic won't obliterate half your screen while loading?
