Edit/New Session

‎Mocha keyboard turns your Mac computer into a cable free Bluetooth keyboard, which can be used with a phone or tablet. Save time and type much faster. Use text from the Mac OS X clipboard, or type text direct to your phone from your large Mac keyboard. The text will appear without delay on your pho. I purchased this keyboard per the request of my 11 year old son, who wanted it for video game purposes. A key broke after a few weeks, possibly due to over-aggressive use of the keyboard (who knows, he's 11). This company's customer service was excellent, and the company immediately sent a replacement keyboard that arrived within a few days.

• Name: A session can be given any name, which will make it easier to remember it. The session name is also shown in the title bar, when the session is active

  IBM-3278-5-E : 27x132 color display
• Auto Login:Use these fields to define an user id and a password for the Sign On screen on the IBM Mainframe.
  Notice there is not much security involved doing it! It could be an idea to contact the system administrator to verify it is your company politic to have open access to the system without any password security.

• Confirm exit:If mocha TN3270 is terminated (maybe with ALT F4), and a session is active, an exit confirm box will be shown.

The screen will be scaled to the font, giving a display of 24*80 or 32*80 characters.

Colors

It is the IBM Mainframe program, which defines the text colors to use in a screen. The IBM Mainframe can as an example, request a red text, and the color red can be configured in this dialog.

Language

The language Category lets you change the code page used to display data received from the host. The code page must be the same as on the IBM Mainframe

It can be recommended to use the default Windows OS encoding. Only in a multi language environment, an encoding should be selected from the list.

Size: Size of the font. Use menu - file - Print Preview, to experiment with different sizes.

Some printers may not write to the edge of the paper, and therefore you may see a difference between these margins and the real print.

Shift + arrow = select area for clipboard: Holding down shift and moving the cursor with the arrow keys, will select data.

Type ahead: Use this command to define, if it should be legal to enter data for the next screen, without waiting for the host to send a response. In the status line after X-WAIT, a number is shown, telling the number of data in the buffer. The buffer is unlimited. Notice not all IBM Mainframe program can handle a type ahead situation.

Allow only numeric data in numeric fields: The IBM mainframe can define a field as only to include numeric data. This option ignores the request.

In VT mode, return key sends CRLF (default is LF): If TN3270 is connected to an old proxy host, which request a user id/password before allowing a session with the IBM Mainframe host, this option can be used to define the value for the Return key.

Enable hotspots:TN3270 can display all Fx and Fxx objects on the 3270 screen as buttons, which can be clicked with the left mouse key. Also URL's will be shown as click object, and a click will start the default browser with the given URL.

Cursor type: Normal or as a cross hair. Using the cross hair option will make the screen update work slower. The default keyboard layout has key [Pause/Break] as toggle key between the modes.

Cursor size: Different sizes can be tried. Default is full.

Double left click: Either double clicking the mouse will, a) be ignored, b) work as if ENTER is pressed at the cursor position, or c) the word below the mouse will be selected, and can now be copied to the clipboard with the 'copy' function.
