PMFTERM 1.2c

Welcome to PMFTERM!  I have tried to implement a version of FTTERM
for OS/2, without having to resort to EE CM.

*************************************************************************

PLEASE NOTE THAT ASCII-EBCDIC TRANSLATION MAY NOT BE FTTERM-COMPATIBLE FOR
CERTAIN SPECIAL CHARACTER CODES SUCH AS [, ], \, ^ AND A FEW OTHERS!

*************************************************************************

Select Menu Item "Help + Help Index..." and browse it for a good description
of PMFTERM.

Keyboard mapping can't be changed.  The following codes are assigned:

	(left) ENTER - New Line	key on Enhanced Keyboards,
		       Enter key on AT keyboard.
	(pad)  ENTER - Enter key on Enhanced Keyboards

	HOME and PAUSE - Clear Screen (FTTERM/VT100 only)

	END - Erase to End of Line (FTTERM only)

	F1-F12 - Program function keys for 3708/7171
	Shift+F1/F2 - F11 or F12 on 10 PF key keyboards

	Ctrl+F1 and Alt+Insert - PA1 (FTTERM/VT100 only)
	Ctrl+F2 and Alt+Home   - PA2 (FTTERM/VT100 only)

	Right CTRL key on enhanced keyboards - Enter (FTTERM only)

	Ctrl+r - 3708/7171 Reset sequence

	Ctrl+n - IBM 5842 <Com> command
	Ctrl+s/q/o - Xoff/Xon/SI commands (mainly VT100)

	Ctrl+C  - Break

1. Download PMFTRM.ZIP and unZip it to a directory.

2. Add one of the following lines to your CONFIG.SYS :

	DEVICE=C:\OS2\COM01.SYS (AT type machines Release 1.2+)
	DEVICE=C:\OS2\COM02.SYS (PS/2 machines OS/2 1.2+)

	DEVICE=C:\OS2\COM.SYS    (Version 2.0 and above)

3. PCASSI 3.0 Users can use the provided .CUS file.  This customization
   file invokes PSEND/PRECEIVE instead of SEND/RECEIVE, and uses host
   session "I" instead of "A" as the default.

4. Run PMTDFLTS from an OS/2 windowed command prompt.  This will
   create a number of useful model terminal profiles which can be used
   as a basis for your own profiles.

5. Copy PMFTERM.HLP from your directory into a directory in the HELP= path.

6. To setup a terminal profile "on the fly", (for example, the IBM
   Information Network using FTTERM Color emulation mode) execute
   PMFTERM.EXE from the OS/2 command prompt and do the following:

	Select "Settings" "Select Profile" from the menu bar.

	Change the name "DEFAULT" to "FTTERMC" or anything else.
	Change Terminal Emulation to FTTERMC.
	Set the Modem Speed for your modem.
	Set COM1-4.
	Push the "Keys" pushbutton.

	Configure the autokey sequences for IIN as follows:

	Send: ATE1\r       (the \r is "return")
	Response:  OK      (wait for OK)
	
	Send: ATDT18003338496\r  (dial IIN)
	Response: TYPE:		(wait for Terminal TYPE:)

	Send:19\r		(type code for FTTERM)
	Response:  ===>		(wait for response)

	Send: xxxx\tyyyyyyyy	(account code=xxxx, \t=Tab, userid)

Push the OK button. 

Check the "Save" and "Default" check boxes, and push the "OK" button.

The system will now dial IIN.  To abort an autokey sequence, select

	 "Connect" "Abort" from the Menu

and hit any key on the keyboard to kill the ATDT in the modem.

The default (startup) profile is now set to FTTERMC (with your autokey
sequences) and will be selected at startup time.

To redial, select

	 "Connect" "Connect" from the Menu.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Allowed Autokey escape (\) sequences:

	\r	 Send a carriage return
	\t or \> Send a tab
	\<	 Send a backtab
	\n	 Send a new line
	\d	 Send the IBM 5842 CTRL-N character
	\c	 Send a Ctrl+C (ETX)
	\w	 Wait 1 second
	\e	 Send an ESC character
	
For anything else, the '\' is ignored and the character following it is
sent "as-is".  To send a '\', therefore, put a '\\' in the autokey
sequence to be sent.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can create any number of profiles.  Check the "Save" checkbox and
overtype the name of the profile to be saved.  To use a profile at
startup time (ie. override the DEFAULT profile) either change the Program
Properties "Parameters" to the name of the profile, or go to the OS/2
Windowed Command Prompt and type:

	PMFTERM [[x:]MYPROF]

where MYPROF is the name of the profile to be used instead of DEFAULT,
and x: is a single character "session id" which is followed by a colon.
The session id is used to name internal queues and PMFTERM will ensure 
that it is unique to each instance of the PMFTERM program in the system.

The session ID is used as part of the host file transfer PSEND/PRECEIVE
command to point to the correct instance of PMFTERM, such that if you
start PMFTERM against COM1 and then again against COM2 (hopefully you
have 2 COM ports and modems available) you could open a windowed OS/2
command prompt and use the commands:

	start psend c:\autoexec.bat i:autoexec batbin
	start psend c:\config.sys j: (X 1K)

to initiate concurrent file transfers (first to the IBM Information
Network on session "i" and concurrently to a BBS using XMODEM with 1k
blocks).  Note that the PMFTERM title bar will say
"PMFTERM Using ?:!!!!!!!!",  where ? is the session ID and
!!!!!!!! is the profile name.

Color remapping is now available for FTTERM emulation.  Select Customize
Colors, select the color to be changed via its radio button and then
select the color from the "To" box.  Press "Set".  To reset to the
factory-installed defaults, press "Reset".  To write the colors to OS2.INI
press "Save".
