Getting Started

The Toolbar

A toolbar is displayed below the menu bar. This displays a series of buttons which
provide a quick way of actioning commands or displaying setup dialog boxes when
clicked.

You can redefine all the buttons and add or remove buttons from the toolbar using the
Button Tools dialog box. Refer to the chapter entitled The Toolbar for a complete
description of all the default buttons and how to redefine the toolbar.

The Soft Buttons

A set of soft buttons can be displayed along the bottom of the emulator window.
These can be programmed so that they perform various functions when clicked.

There are four soft button levels. Each level consists of twelve programmable
buttons, providing a combined total of 48 programmable buttons. You can display all
four levels at the same time if required. All levels are accessible even if not all are
displayed, levels stored off-screen can be 'scrolled' into view by clicking the Level
button.

The soft buttons are programmed using the Soft Buttons dialog box, which is
displayed by selecting Settings in the menu bar then Soft Buttons... The setting of
the Visible Levels option determines how many soft button levels are displayed.
Refer to the Setup Menus chapter for information on programming the buttons.

The Status Bar

Along the bottom of the display is a status bar which shows the status of various
operations and enables you to switch between modes. The information displayed in
the status bar depends on the current terminal emulation. The following description
applies when running any of the DEC VT terminal emulations, though some of the
fields and buttons will be applicable to other emulations as well.
