Preferred Font

This enables you to specify the font to be used for displaying characters. The available
settings depend on the fonts installed.

Preferred Char. Set

Factory default: DEC-MCS

This enables you to specify the character set to be used for displaying characters.

The DEC-MCS, ISO Latin-1 and ISO Latin-2 settings enable you to specify the 8-
bit character set that is used within VT320 mode when the Character Set Mode
option in the Emulation Settings dialog box is set to Multinational. The DEC MCS
and both ISO Latin character sets consist of two tables of characters. The first table,
ASCII 7-bit, is common to all three sets and provides standard alphabetic, numeric and
symbolic characters, and control codes. The second (8-bit) table differs between the
three sets and provides various special and multinational characters and additional
control codes, as shown in the Character Sets appendix.

The Ansi setting will use the PC (ANSI) character set specified by the Ansi Code
Page
option. The ANSI BBS emulation will use this character set by default.

Ansi Code Page

Factory default: 437

This option specifies the character set used for display when the Preferred Char. Set
option is set to Ansi. Note that selecting the ANSI BBS emulation will automatically
set the preferred font to Ansi.

The character set mappings (code pages) supported are 437 for normal usage (default)
and 850, 858 or 1250 for multinational usage. Each set consists of two tables of
characters. The first table is the standard ASCII character set. The second table
contains special characters which differ between the sets. Refer to the Character Sets
appendix for details.

Save Screen Before Clearing

Factory default: Unselected

This applies to all DEC 'VT' emulations except VT340 and VT420. It determines the
effect of a clear screen command received from the host. When unselected, the
contents of the current page will be cleared. When selected, the contents of the current
page will be saved and the display will scroll to the next page.

Save Scrolled Lines

Factory default: Unselected

If a scroll region is set, selecting this option will cause data scrolled out of the region to
be stored in a history buffer.
