Using The Menus

The menu options follow several conventions:

Options that are displayed dimmed are not applicable to the current mode of operation and cannot be selected. An example of this is the IBM 5250 option in the Settings menu. This can only be selected when the IBM 5250 emulation is running.

Options that include an underlined character may be actioned by pressing the key bearing that character. For example, pressing the X key while the File menu is displayed will cause the emulator to shut down.

Options that are not followed by an ellipsis (...) perform a particular function when selected. For example, selecting Reset Terminal in the File menu will perform a terminal reset.

Options that are followed by an ellipsis indicate that a dialog box will be displayed with all the selections applicable to that option. For example, selecting Emulation... in the Settings menu will display a dialog box in which you can specify various emulation settings.

To select a menu option:

Mouse: Click the menu option.

Keyboard: Method 1: If the option includes an underlined character, press the key bearing that character. For example, pressing X while the File menu is displayed will cause the emulator to shut down.

Method 2: Use the up or down arrow keys to highlight the option required then hit Return.
