Setup Menus

Memory Rows

Factory default: 144

This option determines the number of text rows that are stored in memory. This can be set from 0 to 528 rows by default. The Display Rows option specifies the number of memory rows that can be viewed in the workspace at any one time.

Memory Page Size

Factory default: 24

When the emulator is in VT420 mode, the display memory of 144 lines can be divided into several pages, up to a maximum of six pages of 24 lines each. The setting of this option determines the number of lines on a page and therefore how many pages are available. Note that the page size can be larger than the Display Rows setting, in which case you can scroll the page up or down in the window by holding down the Ctrl key and pressing the Up or Down Cursor keys. When the emulator is in any mode other than VT420, the page size is the same as the Display Rows setting.

Memory Page Width

Factory default: 80

This option specifies the width of display memory for DEC VT modes, in the range 80 to 132 columns. When the number of Display Columns is less than the page width specified here, you can scroll horizontally to view the hidden columns by holding down the Ctrl key and pressing the Left or Right Cursor keys.

Cursor Type

Factory default: Block

This enables you to specify how the text cursor is displayed. Select from the following:

Underline

Static Underline

Hidden

Block

Static Block

 

Status Line

Factory default: Unavailable

This option determines whether or not the 25th screen line is used as a status line when the emulator is in any DEC VT terminal emulation mode. When Unavailable or Host Writable is selected, the host can write application-specific messages to the 25th line. Selecting None will prevent this.

Ignore Numlock

Factory default: Unselected

The setting of this option determines whether or not the Num Lock key toggles Num Lock mode on and off when pressed. When selected, the Num Lock key will perform the function defined by the terminal emulation.
