Detecting TSO Session Manager from a program

I am interested in understanding how a program can determine if it is
running under the TSO Session Manager, distinct from the traditional
TSO environment.  In particular, I want to know how to interact with a
user.  The traditional environment causes the user to hit Enter at the
bottom of each page, etc., but the Session Manager does not.  Also, as
far as I can tell, the various macros which interact with the user
silently ignore certain options under the Session Manager.

As an aside, is it possible, from a traditional TSO environment to
(re-)start the Session Manager?  The documentation is vague about
this.  I know how to exit from it, but all the documentation says to
LOGON again to get back into it.$$
