Each logon made through Saplogon creates a terminal session.

Within the terminal session you can have up to 6 external sessions (GUI windows). You can think of each
external session as of one GUI window.

Internal sessions are created by the system within an external session, each time a new program is called
and its data must be stored somewhere in memory. Each such program lives in its internal session. The first
one is loaded when you start some transaction. Then it can in turn call another program if it needs - then the
system will create another internal session for the called program (within the same external session = the
same GUI window).

So you, as a user, do not observe internal sessions in any visual way (maybe that's why they're called
"internal" ).
