HP TeemTalk Terminal Emulator, version 7.3, User Manual

The current setting of this button determines whether pressing an alphanumeric key causes a
character to be sent to the host (remote) or only to the display (local). The button and F4 key
toggles between Remote mode and Local mode. The setting may be saved by selecting Save
Session in the File menu.
The emulation is in Local mode when the button does not display an asterisk. Pressing
alphanumeric keys will cause characters to be sent to the display only.
When Remote mode is activated (as indicated by an asterisk), pressing alphanumeric keys will
cause characters to be sent to the host.

Terminal Test - F5
When this button or F5 key is pressed, the HP 700-92/96 emulation will perform a self-test and
display a test screen showing all the displayable characters.
●
Memory Lock - F6
This enables data to be locked on the display so that it is not scrolled off the top of the window
when display memory is full. Once enabled, it can only be disabled if this button or F6 key is
pressed again, a reset is performed, or the emulation is exited.
Placing the cursor on the first line and enabling Memory Lock will prevent data from automatically
scrolling off the top of the display when display memory is full. Instead, the message 'MEMORY
FULL Press RETURN to clear' will be displayed. You may use the cursor keys to edit data already
displayed. To disable the Memory Lock and continue entering new data, press F6 or click the
button again and position the cursor immediately below the last line.
The Memory Lock function may also be used to lock a specific number of lines from the top of the
display, leaving the remaining lines to scroll past them. This is useful when you want column
headings or instructions to remain on the display. To lock a specific number of lines, place the
cursor on the last line to be locked and press F6 or click the button. The lines from the top of the
display down to the cursor line will now be locked.
NOTE: You can edit data contained in locked lines but if new data is inserted it may cause data
on the last line of the locked region to be pushed down into the scrolling region.
●
Display Functions - F7
This button and the F7 key toggles the Display Functions mode on or off. The effect of activating
Display Functions mode depends on whether the emulation is in Local or Remote mode. In Local
mode, activating Display Functions mode will cause subsequently received control codes and
escape sequences to be displayed on the screen but not actioned. Exceptions to this rule are the
commands issued when the button or F7 key is pressed and the carriage return and line feed
commands, which will be executed.
In Remote mode, activating Display Functions mode will cause subsequently received control
codes and escape sequences to be transmitted to the host but not actioned locally. Exceptions to
this rule are the commands issued when the button or F7 key is pressed and the carriage return
and line feed commands, which will be executed. If the Local Echo option is enabled in the
HP70092 Settings dialog, commands will be displayed on the screen as well as transmitted to
the host.
