Description

Pages

Type the number of pages to use (1-9).

You can also specify this number using the arrow buttons.

A page is a data buffer from the host that consists of a specific number of columns and rows. The host application determines how many pages it sends to the PC. If you are not sure how many pages to specify here, contact your host administrator.

Rows

Type the number of rows per page (2-255).

You can also specify this number using the arrow buttons.

Cols

Type the number of columns per page (2-132).

You can also specify this number using the arrow buttons.

Cursor Shape

Click the shape that you want the cursor to have in the session window:

To make the cursor

  • A rectangular shape click Block.

  • A horizontal line click Underline.

  • A vertical line click Vertical Bar.

Capture Area

Click the option that indicates what portion of the data to capture:

To capture

  • Only the data from the last start-of-entry (SOE) character to the cursor (the remaining data is not captured) click SOE To Cursor.

  • The entire page (this is useful for data that appears in forms) click Full Page.

  • Each new buffer received from the host (this is useful for data that scrolls) click New Host Data.

Beeps On System

Type the number of beeps to sound when the host sends a message (0-99).

You can also specify this number using the arrow buttons.

A value of 0 turns off the beep, and 99 causes the session to beep until you issue a MessageWait command. (For example, if you're using the PEPWIN.EKM keyboard map, you would press CTRL+M to turn off the beep.)

Select this option to save the commands you enter so that you can recall them later.

Save Input
