2 The Menu System

The TN5250 menu system is used to:

Additionally, the TN5250 menu system includes a help section. The help section is discussed in Help Menu at the end of this chapter, and presents additional information about emulator menus and functions.

Main Menu

Figure 2-1 shows the TN5250 Main Menu that displays after connecting with an emulator-opened session. From this menu, you can access any TN5250 function.

In the Main Menu TN5250 displays the top-level menus of the system:

◆Sessions/Open Sessions

◆About TN5250

◆Utilities

◆Screen Attributes

◆Keyboard Mapping

◆Exit TN5250

These menus, except Exit TN5250, are discussed in the following sections. Exit TN5250 is an exit function only, and is discussed in “Ending a Session” in Chapter 1.

Figure 2-2 shows the TN5250 main menu that displays after trying to connect with a connection definition that does not contain an IP address (user-opened session). From this menu, you must open a session to continue.
