HP TeemTalk Terminal Emulator, version 7.3, User Manual

The Mode Selection functions are assigned to the buttons and function keys when you first run the HP
700-92/96 emulation. If the functions are changed while using the emulation, you can reassert them
by pressing the F9 key (equivalent to the User System key), then F4.
●
Line Modify - F1
This function enables you to edit and retransmit an incorrectly entered command string when the
emulation is in Remote mode and Character mode and you are communicating interactively with
the host. This saves you having to retype the entire string again.
NOTE: This will not function when the emulation is in Block or Format mode.
When the host causes an error message to be displayed indicating that the string has been
incorrectly entered, press the F1 key or click the equivalent button. An asterisk will appear on the
button indicating that the function is selected. Move the cursor to the line containing the error, edit
the line then press Return or Enter. This will cause the edited string to be transmitted and Line
Modify mode to be exited.
If after activating Line Modify mode you wish to cancel it, just press F1 or click the button again.
●
Modify All - F2
This is similar to the Line Modify F1 function described previously, the only difference being that
the editing mode is not exited when Return or Enter is pressed. F2 and its equivalent button acts
as a toggle key, switching the mode on or off. The setting may be saved by selecting Save
Session in the File menu.
The F2 Modify All key and button enables you to edit and retransmit an incorrectly entered
command string when the emulation is in Character mode. This saves you having to retype the
entire string again.
NOTE: This will not function when the emulation is in Block or Format mode.
When the host causes an error message to be displayed indicating that the string has been
incorrectly entered, press the F2 key. An asterisk will appear on the button indicating that the
function is selected. Move the cursor to the line containing the error, edit the line then press
Return or Enter. This will cause the edited string to be transmitted. To exit Modify All mode,
press F2 or click the button again.
NOTE: Even though this function is a special form of Block mode it is completely separate from it
and you do not need to enable Block mode before using the Modify All function.
●
Block Mode - F3
Data may be transmitted to the host a character at a time or as a block of characters. The F3 key
and equivalent button toggles the form of data transmission between Character mode and Block
mode. The setting may be saved by selecting Save Session in the File menu.
The emulation is in Character mode when the button does not display an asterisk. Each character
will be sent to the host as it is entered at the keyboard.
When Block mode is activated (as indicated by an asterisk), data entered at the keyboard will not
be sent to the host until the Enter key is pressed. In this mode, displayed text may be edited
locally before it is transmitted to the host. Control codes such as CR (carriage return) and LF (line
feed) are acted upon locally and are not transmitted to the host when Enter is pressed.
