The Soft Buttons; The Emulation Workspace - HP Compaq t5725 User Manual

Getting Started

The Soft Buttons

A series of buttons is displayed below the status line at the bottom of the window by
default when TeemTalk is loaded. These can be programmed so that they perform
various functions when clicked.
There are four levels of soft buttons. Each level consists of two rows with six program-
mable buttons on each row. This provides a combined total of 48 programmable
buttons. All levels are accessible even if not all are displayed. Levels stored off-screen
can be 'scrolled' into view by clicking the Level button. You can specify how many
levels of soft buttons are actually displayed by using a resource or command line
option.
The soft buttons are programmed using the Keyboard Macros dialog box, which is
displayed by selecting Settings in the menu bar then Keyboard Macros... Refer to the
Setup Menus chapter for information.
You can toggle the visibility of the soft buttons on and off by clicking the second
button in the DEC indicator status line.

The Emulation Workspace

The emulation workspace is the area which emulates the display of the terminal
specified in setup (the DEC VT400 terminal by default) and where work is carried out
with an application.
The number of text lines displayed in the emulation workspace is set to 24 lines with
an indicator status line on the 25th line by default. You can specify the number of lines
displayed by using a resource or command line option. The number of columns that
are displayed and stored in memory can be specified by options in the Terminal /
Display Settings dialog box.
Refer to the section describing the Scroll Bar earlier for information on scrolling lines
and columns stored off-screen into view.
