Working with data during a session

During a communications session, you can:

1

capture incoming data and save it in a text file on your disk

1

copy incoming data formatted as a table into a spreadsheet document

1

save the data in the terminal area and the scrollback pane in a
communications document

1

print data during a communications session

1

send files from one computer to another

Using the scrollback pane

As you work during a communications session, the data you receive from the
remote computer goes into the terminal area of the communications window.
(If you don’t see what you type in the terminal area, choose Terminal from the
Settings menu and turn on Local Echo, also called half duplex.) Data that
overflows the terminal area goes in the scrollback pane.

Use the scroll bars in the scrollback pane to look back through data that is no
longer visible. When you save or print the document, you also save or print
the contents of the scrollback pane.
