Display Folder—VT General Category

VT

In the General category, you can set general display options for the VT terminal.

Display Blink as Italic—Maps the Blink Attribute to Italicized font so that blinking text becomes non-blinking and italicized. This option provides an alternative way of differentiating between blinking and non-blinking text. By default, this option is cleared.

Note: 
  This option is independent of the Cursor Mode.

Display Row/Col Indicator—Determines whether HostExplorer displays the Row and Column Indicator in the right-hand corner of the Operator Information Area (OIA). By default, this option is selected.

Compress Blank Lines in Scrollback—Prevents HostExplorer from adding blank lines to the Scrollback buffer. Select this item if you want to compress new lines to create more space in the buffer. By default, this cleared.

Note: 
  This option only affects new lines added to the Scrollback buffer.

Save Attributes in Scrollback—Saves the Telnet screen attributes within data in the Scrollback buffer. By default, this option is selected.

Note: 
  Selecting this option forces HostExplorer to use more memory for each line it saves.

Save Erased Screens—Determines whether you can save a screen to the Scrollback buffer before performing the Erase-Screen Host command. By default, this option is cleared.

Enable ISO Colors—Determines whether HostExplorer enables support for ISO colors for ANSI color escape sequences when using VT100, VT101, VT220, VT320, and VT420 models. By default, this option is cleared.

Note: 
  ANSI and SCO ANSI Models do not support this option.

Lines Available in Scrollback—Determines the number of lines HostExplorer maintains within the Scrollback buffer. This number can vary between 1 and 9,999. By default, this option is set to 100.

Note: 
  To disable the Scrollback buffer, set the number to zero.
