The Menu System
The TN5250 menu system is used to:
◆ Control sessions
◆ Invoke utility functions
◆ Map keyboards
Additionally, the TN5250 menu system includes a help section. The help
section is discussed in Help Menu at the end of this chapter, and presents
additional information about emulator menus and functions.
Main Menu Figure 2-1 shows the TN5250 Main Menu that displays after connecting with
an emulator-opened session. From this menu, you can access any TN5250
function.
In the Main Menu TN5250 displays the top-level menus of the system:
◆ Sessions/Open Sessions
◆ About TN5250
◆ Utilities
◆ Screen Attributes
◆ Keyboard Mapping
◆ Exit TN5250
These menus, except Exit TN5250, are discussed in the following sections. Exit
TN5250 is an exit function only, and is discussed in “Ending a Session” in
Chapter 1.
Figure 2-2 shows the TN5250 main menu that displays after trying to connect
with a connection definition that does not contain an IP address (user-opened
session). From this menu, you must open a session to continue.
