Getting Started with 3270 Emulation
Exiting the TN3270 Emulation Program
Exiting the TN3270 Emulation Program
You can exit the TN3270 emulation program in the following ways:
• From within an emulation session, by using the 3270 EXIT key
(default keystroke Ctrl + X)
• From the main screen of the menu interface, by choosing Exit from
the File menu
To exit the TN3270 emulation program and return to the HP-UX
command prompt, follow these steps:
Step 1. Log off any active sessions. (Logging off is recommended but not always
necessary. The TN3270 emulation program can terminate active sessions
if you exit emulation without logging off. However, with some host
applications, this can cause problems when you next try to log on.)
Step 2. Optionally, disable any active or enabled sessions.
Step 3. From the main screen, choose Exit from the File menu. From a
TN3270 emulation session, press EXIT (default keystroke Ctrl + X).
If any sessions are active when you choose this option, the message box
shown below is displayed.
Step 4. Choose <OK> to exit and deactivate any active sessions, or choose
<Cancel> to resume emulation.
If you have not made any changes to your 3270 emulation style, or if you
have already saved any changes to a style file, you exit the TN3270
emulation program. If you have made changes and have not saved them,
the dialog box shown in Figure 3-6, “Message Box Notifying You of Active
Sessions,” is displayed.
Step 5. In the dialog box shown in Figure 3-7, “Dialog Box Warning You to Save
Changes,”, choose <Yes> to save the style file and exit, <No> to exit
without saving, or <Cancel> to continue using the program. For
complete instructions for saving style file, see “Opening, Creating, and
Saving Style Files”.
