Terminal Folder—Advanced Category
VT
You can use the Advanced category to set advanced terminal options:
General Options
Auto Wrap—Determines whether HostExplorer automatically wraps text around the screen. Text wrapping occurs when the terminal attempts to display a character beyond the last column of the emulator. By default, this option is cleared.
|
Note: |
If this option is cleared, data sent beyond the last column is lost and does not displayed in the terminal window. |
Local Echo—Determines whether HostExplorer enables local echo of characters typed in the emulator. This option is also referred to as Keyboard Echo.
Terminal is Online—Used to type and move the cursor around the screen without sending data to the host. By default, this option is selected.
|
Note: |
Clear this option if you want to take the terminal off-line. |
Control Codes—Determines whether HostExplorer acts upon control codes or displays them using a special character set.
- Interpret—Used to act upon, or interpret, all C0/C1 control characters. By default, this option is selected.
- Display—Select this option if you are trying to debug a host data stream.
Scrolling and Display—Choose a scrolling and display mode.
- Optimized—Indicates to HostExplorer to perform 'bulk' updates to the screen. Typically, the emulator performs bulk updates at the end of a data stream. By default, this option is selected.
- Realistic - Normal—Indicates to HostExplorer to update the screen as it receives new characters. Although this is a much slower option, it allows for smoother scrolling.
- Realistic - Smooth—Indicates to HostExplorer to scroll one pixel at a time, so that the line at the top of the screen slowly disappears.
- Pixels—In the Pixels box, type the number of pixels (between 1 and 99) that you want HostExplorer to scroll at a time.
Answerback Message—Enter an Answerback message. You can use special character sequences when entering text in this field.
|
Note: |
The Pixel box is available when you select one of the realistic display options. |
- Conceal—Conceals the Answerback string in this dialog box after you type the string in the above box. By default, this option is cleared.
