Reviewing Session Data

During a Telnet Viewer session, you may review the accumulated screen contents by using the scroll bar or the Arrow keys. To return to the current session location, press Enter. The size of the buffer containing session data that can be reviewed is configurable.

You may optionally choose to change the color of the text and/or the background when you are reviewing session data. When you return to the current session location, the colors will return to those specified in the Telnet Viewer’s configuration (see Customizing the Telnet Viewer on page 291).

While you are reviewing collected data, new incoming data is buffered, but it will not be displayed until you return to the current session location. You may not enter outgoing data.

To change the maximum number of lines in the session buffer:

1.Select Options - Session Properties from the menu or click the Session Settings icon in the toolbar. The Session Properties dialog box will appear.

2.Click the Terminal tab.

3.In the History Buffer Size box, type a value from 1-1000. The default value is 256.

To change the background and/or text color when reviewing session data:

1.Select Options - Preferences from the menu. The Preferences dialog box will appear.

2.To change the background color, click the Background/History Mode box in the Colors section and select a color. The default color is blue.

3.To change the text color, click the Text/History Mode box in the Colors section and select a color. The default color is white.
