The terminal emulator provides menu options that can be
used to customize the font, print the screen, and exit with save settings.
If you share a computer with others, or are a user of multiple
computers on a network, your preferences are used whenever and wherever
you launch terminal emulator. This functionality is provided by means
of Windows roaming user support.
The CICSTERM.INI file is not erased when you uninstall CICS Transaction Gateway. Therefore,
when you re-install CICS Transaction Gateway, the emulator
uses the settings from the old CICSTERM.INI files.
The terminal emulator has a menu bar with File and Settings menus.
The commands on the
File menu are:
- Print
- Prints the emulator screen. This has the same effect as pressing
the Print Screen key.
- Exit
- Stops the terminal emulator.
The commands on the
Settings menu are:
- Font
- Opens a standard Windows dialog box that allows you to select
any of the fixed-pitch fonts installed on your system. Select a font,
a font style, and a size, and then select OK. The terminal
window is then resized according to your font selection.
- Autosize
- Specifies that the size of TrueType fonts is adjusted according
to the size of the terminal window. That is, when you maximize, minimize,
or drag the borders to resize the window, the font is resized to match
the new window size. This command has no effect if the current font
is not a TrueType font.
- Save on Exit
- Specifies that the current font, terminal window size, and terminal
position are saved, for use in future sessions, when you close the
terminal window. If the Settings > Save on exit menu option is selected, your choices are stored in CICSTERM.INI,
for use in future sessions. A copy of CICSTERM.INI is created for
each Windows user account as follows:
APPDATA\IBM\CTG\CICSTERM.INI
where APPDATA
is the environment variable defined for each user by the Windows operating
system.
