Editing The Exclusion List - Symantec PCANYWHERE 12.0 User Manual

142 Supporting computers and servers remotely
What you can do during a remote management session
commands or commands that use direct BIOS calls for screen display (for example,
telnet) are not supported.
Some DOS commands might behave differently. For example, the Exit command
clears and restarts the command prompt window instead of closing the window.
The Edit command is not supported in this window. Symantec pcAnywhere traps
the Edit command, and then prompts you to switch to Edit System Files. When
you switch to Edit System Files, the file that you request displays in the right pane
of the Edit System Files window.

Editing the exclusion list
Symantec pcAnywhere maintains a list of unsupported commands in an exclusion
list. If you type a command that is included in this list, pcAnywhere traps the
command, and then prompts you to switch modes. If you type the Edit command,
pcAnywhere prompts you to select Edit System Files and then displays the file
that you requested in the right pane of the Edit System Files window. For other
commands in the exclusion list, pcAnywhere prompts you to switch to remote
control mode.
The Command Prompt may become unresponsive if you type an unsupported
command that is not included in this list. Symantec pcAnywhere lets you manage
the exclusion list by adding or removing commands. This includes custom key
mapping, executable commands, and other user-defined commands.
To edit the exclusion list during a session

In the Session Manager window, on the left navigation bar, under Session
Manager, click Remote Management.
