Session Window Folder—Window Sizing Category

3270 5250 VT

In the Window Sizing category, you can set options for the size of the terminal window.

Keep Font Aspect Ratio—Forces HostExplorer to keep all fonts within a normal aspect ratio. Selecting this option lets HostExplorer better match the fonts with the current window size. Clearing this option lets HostExplorer create extra wide or extra tall fonts. By default, this option is selected.

Force Exact Window Terminal Size—Eliminates the border between the window and the screen, forcing the session frame to fit the terminal size when the window is resized.

When Switching Modes—Determines how HostExplorer handles model changes initiated by the host.

: Keep Font Size Constant—Indicates to HostExplorer to keep the font size constant when the host resizes the screen.

: Keep Screen Size Constant—Indicates to HostExplorer to select another font within given parameters (if the current font is not available) when the host resizes the screen. By default, this option is selected. The Force Exact Terminal Window Size option overrides the Keep Screen Size Constant option.

: Keep Modes Independent—Select the window position and font type independently. HostExplorer retains the settings you specify for each model.

Resize Behavior—Determines how the host displays the information upon resizing the session window.

: Change Font Size—When you resize the window, HostExplorer changes the size of the font to allow the same number of rows and columns to be displayed in the resized window. By default, this option is selected.

: Windows Default—When you resize the window, HostExplorer retains the font size and the number of rows and columns, and introduces scroll bars if required.

: Change Terminal Size (VT only)—This option is valid only for Telnet hosts that support the NAWS (Negotiate About Window Size) option which allows HostExplorer to specify a window size to the Telnet server. After you resize the screen (either manually or modifying the Default Screen Width option in the Size category of the Terminal folder), HostExplorer sends a change in the number of maximum rows and columns to the Telnet host, but the font size does not change. If the host does not support the NAWS feature, the new screen size information is not transmitted to the server.
