The Status Line; Keyboard Mapping - Neoware c50 - Thin Client User Manual

The Status Line

The last line in the window is used to display status information in the form of
symbols and alphanumeric characters. A coloured line separates status information
from the rest of the display. Information is displayed in any of six regions within the
status line as listed below.
Region Symbol
T
1
2
3 M
4 ^
5
6 rr/cc or rr/ccc
The meaning of the symbols is as follows:
T Indicates that a Telnet session is running.
Indicates that the current screen is an IBM 5250 screen. This screen will be
displayed when you have initiated a Telnet session with the host.
M Indicates that the system has one or more messages waiting for you.
^ Indicates that the keyboard is in Insert mode. Already existing characters to the
right of the cursor will move to make room for new characters that are entered.
Insert mode can be disabled by pressing the Insert key again, pressing the Reset
key, or by performing any action that sends data to the host, such as pressing the
Enter, Clear, or PF keys.
Indicates when input from the keyboard or mouse will not be accepted by the
host. When this is because an error has occured, as shown in the error line,
pressing the Reset key will remove the error. Alternatively, more information can
be obtained by pressing the Help key. The only other keys available are Attn,
SysReq and Print. Note that the emulation includes typeahead capability so that
in most cases you can continue to enter data without waiting for the Do Not Enter
message to clear as the data will be stored until the host is ready.
