Terminal

The Terminal application is started in the Internet main view by selecting
Terminal and pressing Select. The Terminal application is used to connect
directly, not via the Internet, to a remote computer by way of a data call.

The Terminal main view shows the defined Terminal connections. The Terminal
application is similar to the Telnet application, in that both of them emulate
the VT100 terminal display. See figure 10.

To connect with a pre-defined Terminal connection, select the connection and
press Connect.

Caution: Beware of viruses. Only
install on the communicator
software you have obtained from
sources that offer adequate
protection against viruses.

Terminal connection

When you have connected to the remote system, the following commands
become available:

Press Keys to emulate the VT100 special keys, which are not available on the
communicator keyboard. The special keys include:

All VT100 application keypad keys: numbers 1-9, hyphen, comma, period,
enter.

The following VT100 functions: reset terminal, Ctrl-\, Ctrl-], Ctrl-~, Ctrl-?.

The selected special character is entered to the left of the cursor by pressing
Insert.

The arrow keys can be used for scrolling the view. Scrolling does not affect the
cursor position. Pressing any keyboard key returns the view to the cursor
position.

Press Hang up to close the connection to the host, end the data call and
return to the Terminal main view.

To transfer text

The purpose of the text transfer function is to enable you to send text from
the communicator to the host computer, or to copy text from the host
computer to the communicator. This function can be used, for example, to
send pre-written mail messages to the company mainframe computer, or
alternatively, copy received mail and then read it later, off line.

To send text to the host computer

1 Press Send text.

2 Open one of the folders shown and select the document you want to send.

3 Press Send. If you want to stop the sending procedure, press Stop sending.

While the text is being sent, the keyboard is inactive.

To copy text from the host computer

1 Prepare the text reading application on the host.

2 Press Capture text. All interaction with the host will be recorded in a file

in the Downloaded files folder. Control characters, except line changes,
will not be stored.

Press Stop capture to end the text capture process.
