Setup Menus
Pages
Factory default: 4
In HP 700-92/96 mode the display area is 80 or 132 columns by 24 lines with 168
lines stored off-screen, giving a total display memory of 192 lines. This option enables
you to specify whether display memory is divided into 2, 4, 6 or 8 pages.
Typeahead Enabled
Factory default: Unselected
When the emulator is connected to an HP 3000, you normally have to wait for the host
to send a prompt before you can enter new data at the keyboard, otherwise the data is
ignored. Selecting this option will enable you to type continuously without waiting for
the prompt. Data is stored in the keyboard buffer and each time the emulator receives a
prompt it will send a line of data to the host. Block mode also supports typeahead.
Host Prompt Character
Factory default: ^Q (i.e. DC1)
Some hosts send a prompt character to the terminal to indicate that they are ready to
receive the next line or block of data. This option enables you to specify the prompt
character for your particular host. Most hosts either use the DC1 (^Q) character (e.g.
HP 3000) or no prompt (^@) character.
When Typeahead Enabled is selected, the emulator will wait for the specified prompt
character from the host before transmitting the next line from the keyboard buffer.
