Getting Started with Timbuktu Pro for Macintosh

| 20

Fast User Switching

Timbuktu Pro’s Panther support includes fast user switching. When you change
users or log in as an additional user on Panther computers, any open Timbuktu
Pro connections are closed. However, Timbuktu Pro is not shut down. You may im-
mediately reconnect any Timbuktu Pro service.

Updated TCP/IP Zones File Name

The TCP/IP Zones file no longer requires the forward slash (/) in the file name.
TCPIP Zones is now an acceptable file name. Timbuktu Pro also recognizes an
alias to the actual TCP/IP Zones file, which you may now place anywhere on your
computer.

Common Terminology

To enhance your cross-platform Timbuktu Pro experience, Timbuktu Pro for Macin-
tosh and Timbuktu Pro for Windows use the same terminology and service
names. The original Look service is called Observe; the original Knock service is
called Notify. In addition, Timbuktu Pro for Macintosh and Windows use the same
terms for remote users: the original Public Visitor is called the Guest User, and
Trusted Visitors are called Registered Users.

Timbuktu Pro Online Help

Timbuktu Pro’s comprehensive online Help provides a variety of ways to answer
your questions. It contains step-by-step instructions for common procedures, as
well as troubleshooting hints and keyboard shortcuts.

Use the Help menu to open Help from anywhere within Timbuktu Pro. Or click the
Help button in any dialog box or window to view context-sensitive Help for that di-
alog box.

Scripting

You can create AppleScript applications or run ready-made scripts that incorpo-
rate Timbuktu Pro features. Timbuktu Pro includes a Script menu with ready-to-
run scripts.
