Wyse Emulations

Display Format

Below the command bar (described in chapter 2) the display is divided into three areas by default: the status line, the data area, and the label line.

The status line which is used to display information relating to the emulation and messages from the application. The following section describes the status messages that can be displayed by the emulation.

The data area is where data entered from the keyboard or the application is displayed. The data area is set to 24 lines by 80 columns by default.

The label line is displayed at the bottom of the screen when the data area is set to 24 or 42 lines. This is can be used to display messages or function key labels defined by the host.

Status Line Messages

The status line is divided into two sections. The left section displays messages relating to the emulation and the right section is used to display messages from the host. The type of status line displayed is determined by the setting of the Status Line option in the Wyse Settings dialog box. The Extended status line provides similar information to the Standard status line but with additional fields for displaying information on local editing mode.

The emulation status messages are displayed in one of six or eight fields along the first section of the status line, depending on whether the Standard or Extended status line is displayed. The messages and their meanings are listed below.
