Margins—Determines margin values for the terminal screen. When you set margins, you can enter a numeric value or click an area on the screen. If you do not enter margins, HostExplorer automatically uses the field width.

Right Margin—Sets the right margin. You can enter a numeric value or click on an area of the screen.
