SCO-ANSI sessions support SCO-ANSI escape sequences, which are used in UNIX environments to emulate the behavior of the console terminal of a SCO UNIX system. When you use a SCO-ANSI session, several of the default display settings are different than when you use a VT session:
The default number of lines per page is 25.
Automatic line wrap is enabled.
User keys are always locked. The option becomes unavailable in the user interface.On the Keyboard page, only the Bell options are available.
The options on the Local Edit page are unavailable.
In addition, options in the Graphics and Tektronix pages have no effect. (The Graphics and Tektronix pages are available only in VT340 sessions.) SCO-ANSI mode uses the 8-bit IBM character set instead of a DIGITAL character set. Therefore, DIGITAL VT 8-bit control functions are not available. To access control functions, the host must use the equivalent 7-bit sequences.
Asynchronous sessions interpret keystrokes as ISO Latin-1 characters and translate them to equivalent IBM characters before sending them to the host. This includes all 7-bit and 8-bit characters. This translation is performed even if you use the ALT+keypad method of generating special characters. Consequently, there are many IBM characters you cannot send from the keyboard as they have no ISO equivalents. This translation is not performed when you map strings to a key. If you need to send special IBM characters to your host, you can do so by mapping the special character to a key on your keyboard.
To create a SCO-ANSI session
In the New Session wizard, in response to the question "What type of session would you like to use" choose SCO-ANSI.
In the New Session wizard, also select a Connection Type and File Transfer Protocol. After making your selections, choose Finish.
When your session starts, from the Options menu, choose Settings.
Under Categories, choose Display.
Select a User-Preferred Character Set. SCO-ANSI mode does not recognize national character sets.
NOTE:To use the any of the Turkish or Greek character sets, you must select the Arial Terminal or Lucida for Attachmate font. To select a font, under Categories, choose Font.
To map your keyboard to SCO-ANSI-equivalent keys, under Categories, choose Keyboard Maps.
In the General page under Select A Keyboard Map, select SCO-ANSI (101 KEY).EKM.
ANSI Private Escape Sequences
In addition to the standard ANSI control sequences, the following ANSI-compatible extensions are supported.
