About the Terminal Objects
The Terminal objects govern the terminal display and its menus. You can use the Terminal objects to create display-based applications. At the programming front end, you can also use the Terminal objects to reference the other HostExplorer API objects — the Parser objects, the Transport objects, the Profile object, and Ohio.
HostExplorer consists of the following terminal emulators:
- HostExplorer TN3270—Emulates 3270 terminals for IBM mainframes.
- HostExplorer TN5250—Emulates 5250 terminals for AS/400 computers, IBM’s family of mid-range computers.
- HostExplorer Telnet—Emulates ASCII terminals (VTxxx, ANSI, and SCO ANSI) for UNIX, DEC, and other ASCII-based host components.
