HP TeemTalk Terminal Emulator 8 E-License Record & Playback Keystrokes Facility, Alternate Code

Push mode has two secondary modes, Boundary mode and Edit mode.

Boundary mode is activated when Push mode is entered. The cursor will remain at its current position while you type additional characters, and text will be pushed in the opposite direction of the screen orientation.

Edit mode is activated when the cursor is moved from its Boundary position into the Push segment area. In this mode, text can be edited within the Push segment while typing in the field's natural direction.

Bilingual Keyboard Support

When a code page that supports a bilingual keyboard is selected, you can toggle between the National and Latin character set by pressing the keys Shift + - on the keypad. The character N or L will be displayed on the status line to indicate which character set is currently active.

Selecting the Numeral Swap option in the 3270 Display Settings dialog will cause all numbers to be displayed using the National character set when in Latin character set mode.

Alternate Code Page

If a language supports two code pages (e.g. Hebrew New Code and Hebrew Old Code), you can switch between the two by pressing the keys Ctrl + Shift + Alt + - on the numeric keypad. This function can be assigned to a different key or key combination by using the IB_ALTCP virtual key name.

Record & Playback Keystrokes Facility

The record/playback keystrokes facility enables you to eliminate repetitive operations by using the Fn keys to store, retrieve and display data. The Fn keys can store a total of 1500 keystrokes. A sequence of recorded keystrokes may be interrupted so that keystrokes can be entered manually before continuing with the recording or playback. Note that local Fn key functions cannot be recorded.

The keys used to initiate recording and playback are shown below together with the equivalent virtual key names that can be used to assign the functions to any key on the keyboard:

	101/102 Key Keyboard	Virtual Key Names
Record:	Alt + F7	IB_RECORD
Pause:	Shift + Pause	IB_PAUSE
Quit:	Alt + Escape	IB_QUIT
Play:	Alt + F8	IB_PLAY
Edit:	Alt + F3	IB_FEDIT
