Program Operation
An agent configuration or deletion program is invoked when you press one of the
function keys while the ADMIN Agent Selection Screen is displayed. If the
TRANSFER delivery system does not locate a user-supplied program, the following
occurs:
The default program named ADMIN-AGENT-CONFIGURE, which is supplied by
Tandem, is invoked in response to the pressing of configuration function keys.
The ADMIN default action takes place in response to the pressing of the delete
function key.
If the TRANSFER delivery system locates a user-supplied program, the program is
invoked and takes the action dictated by the function key, as shown in Table 10-1.
