x6530 Window
Using the x6530 Emulator
1–2 082628 Tandem Computers Incorporated
Note The window shown in Figure 1-1 is a generalization. The actual appearance of the window depends on
the specific window-manager software in use, so details may vary.
To access the Tandem host, follow these steps:
1. Enter tacl at the Enter Choice> prompt to get to the TACL prompt.
2. Log on to the Tandem host when the TACL prompt appears. Logging on requires
a Tandem logon ID and password.
3. Enter a TACL command or the name of a Tandem program. (Tandem programs
and TACL commands can also be selected from an x6530 custom menu. See
Section 2, “x6530 Run Command and Customizing Options,” for information
about creating and using an x6530 custom menu.)
When you have logged on to the Tandem host, you have started an x6530 session.
When you no longer want to use the x6530 window, you can do one of three things:
Stop x6530 with the Quit option of the x6530 menu. (See “x6530 Menus,” later in
this section, for information on the x6530 menu.)
Stop x6530 by logging off from the Tandem host.
Turn the window into an icon from your window manager.
Stopping x6530 ends the session by logging you off the Tandem host and erasing the
window from your screen. Turning the window into an icon does not log you off from
the Tandem host, preserving the session for later use.
Multiple x6530 Windows There are two ways to have more than one x6530 window at your workstation at the
same time:
Use the WINDOW run option when executing a Tandem program during an
x6530 session.
Run x6530 as many times as you need windows.
WINDOW Run Option
After you have started an x6530 session, you can run a Tandem program in a separate
x6530 window at your workstation by using the WINDOW run option in the com-
mand that starts the Tandem program. WINDOW can appear in any order with the
program’s other run options. The program is the only process in the new window; a
new TACL process is not started.
For example, if you wanted Peruse to run in a separate window at your workstation,
you would enter a command similar to the following at the TACL prompt in the first
x6530 window:
8> PERUSE /WINDOW "-title Peruse"/
When you exit from Peruse, the x6530 window it was running in disappears and the
x6530 process associated with Peruse is stopped. The original x6530 window remains
at your workstation until you stop it from the x6530 menu or log off the Tandem host.
