Getting Started with 3270 Emulation
Using Menus and Dialog Boxes
• Open a different style file to apply its customization parameters to
3270 emulation
• Save changes to a style file
• Create a new style file
You can use the Customize menu, to change customization parameters,
which you then save to a style file. However, you will not be able to
modify the default style or open new style files if your System
Administrator has not given you permission to do this. For more
information about complete instructions for using style files, see Chapter
6, “Customizing 3270 Emulation.”
Controlling Emulation
You use the Control menu to control emulation—enabling and
disabling 3270 display sessions and 3287 printer sessions, starting and
stopping file transfers, and viewing host response times. For
instructions, see Chapter 4, “Controlling 3270 Emulation.”
Communicating with the Host
To conduct 3270 emulation, do the following:
Step 1. Log on to a host (if required to do so) and communicate with its control
and application programs through an active session.
Step 2. Move to the currently selected session by choosing Return to
Emulator under the File menu or by pressing the Esc key.
Step 3. Switch to another active session if desired, and follow the host
computer's logon instructions, if any.
For instructions for moving from the 3270 emulation program to 3270
sessions and from one session to another, see Chapter 4, “Controlling
3270 Emulation.”
Moving between a 3270 Session and the Main
Screen
To return temporarily from a 3270 display session to the main screen,
press ACTIONS (default keystroke Ctrl + U).
To resume 3270 emulation from the main screen, press Esc.
