Setup Menus
Memory Rows
Factory default: 144
This option determines the number of text rows that are stored in memory. This can be
set from 0 to 528 rows by default. The Display Rows option specifies the number of
memory rows that can be viewed in the workspace at any one time.
Memory Page Size
Factory default: 24
When the emulator is in VT420 mode, the display memory of 144 lines can be divided
into several pages, up to a maximum of six pages of 24 lines each. The setting of this
option determines the number of lines on a page and therefore how many pages are
available. Note that the page size can be larger than the Display Rows setting, in
which case you can scroll the page up or down in the window by holding down the
Ctrl key and pressing the Up or Down Cursor keys. When the emulator is in any
mode other than VT420, the page size is the same as the Display Rows setting.
Memory Page Width
Factory default: 80
This option specifies the width of display memory for DEC VT modes, in the range 80
to 132 columns. When the number of Display Columns is less than the page width
specified here, you can scroll horizontally to view the hidden columns by holding
down the Ctrl key and pressing the Left or Right Cursor keys.
Cursor Type
Factory default: Block
This enables you to specify how the text cursor is displayed. Select from the following:
Underline Static Underline Hidden
Block Static Block
Status Line
Factory default: Unavailable
This option determines whether or not the 25th screen line is used as a status line when
the emulator is in any DEC VT terminal emulation mode. When Unavailable or Host
Writable is selected, the host can write application-specific messages to the 25th line.
Selecting None will prevent this.
Ignore Numlock
Factory default: Unselected
The setting of this option determines whether or not the Num Lock key toggles Num
Lock mode on and off when pressed. When selected, the Num Lock key will perform
the function defined by the terminal emulation.
