System information

Red Book for AIX Rel. 7.0 and 8.0

Printing

Opens the Configure Printing dialog box, where you can specify how Eterm processes the printer

data stream for Eclipse data and screen prints.

Dialing

Opens the Dialing Configuration dialog box, where you can configure Eterm dialing information.

Dialing profiles are intended for those users who use Eterm on portable computers while

traveling (where the dialing configuration will change from location to location) or for those

users who have computers with access to multiple modem systems, such as an internal modem

and access to a corporate modem pool.

See the Eterm online help system for details on this feature.

Helper Applications

Opens the Helper Applications dialog box, where you can specify the applications and

commands that Eclipse will send in the Helper field of a DDE start message.

Messaging

Opens the Configure Message Directory dialog box, where you can configure the folder that

Eterm uses to store information. Eterm scans the specified folder for files. When it finds a file in

this folder, it sends a message to the Eclipse system. This feature applies to certain Eclipse add-

on products, such as Imaging.

Display Options

Eterm contains some other display features:

• Highlight – Causes Eterm to shade the currently active Eclipse input text box. This is

particularly useful on monochrome monitors and portable computers.

• Always on top – Causes Eterm to always be visible, even when you run other programs.

This change is not saved in the ECLIPSE.INI file and must be set each time you run

Eterm.

• Show User Defined Options – Causes Eterm to display the names of user-defined

options associated with the current screen whenever you press the Alt key. This is the

same as using Alt-F11 to show user-defined options. This feature is useful when first

becoming accustomed to the locations of the different user-defined screens attached to

screens in Eclipse. Afterwards, you can turn this feature off.
