═══ 4. Dialogs ═══

A list of dialogs in HyperACCESS Lite for OS/2. 


═══ 4.1. Properties Notebook - ASCII Settings ═══

Use the ASCII Settings page of the Properties Notebook to change the ASCII 
settings for sending and receiving data. These settings apply only to normal 
terminal interaction with the remote system (host). They do not affect file 
transfer protocols. 

o ASCII Sending 

  The options for sending are: 

   Send line ends with line feeds 

   Default is Carriage Return (CR) only. Check this box to have HyperACCESS 
   Lite send a CR and Line Feed (LF) at the end of each line. 

   Echo typed characters locally 

   Default is no echo. When set, this option displays on your computer screen 
   the characters you are transmitting. See full duplex and half duplex. 

o ASCII Receiving 

  The options for receiving are: 

   Append line feeds to incoming line ends 

   Forces a Carriage Return (CR) and Line Feed (LF) at the end of each line. 
   The default is not to format the lines, but to leave them as they are 
   received. Lines sent to you by most remote systems will already end with CR 
   and LF. 

   Force incoming data to 7-bit ASCII 

   Converts 8-bit data characters to standard ASCII by replacing the 8th bit 
   with a zero. 

   Select this setting to have HyperACCESS Lite suppress spurious extended 
   ASCII characters caused by line noise or incorrect parity or bits per 
   character settings. If the remote system sends extended ASCII characters, do 
   not check this setting. The default is unselected. (HyperACCESS Lite ignores 
   this setting when you use the ANSI emulator because it must support graphic 
   characters that use the eighth bit.) 

   Wrap lines that exceed terminal's width 

   Select this setting to have HyperACCESS format on your screen lines of 
   received text so that all the text is visible.

═══ 4.9. Properties Notebook - Terminal Settings ═══

Use the Terminal Settings page of the Properties Notebook to change the 
terminal emulator and its setup. With each terminal emulator, you see text and 
respond to screen control codes in a way that closely  resembles that type of 
terminal. 

You can use the same basic emulator to access multiple remote systems, but 
define each Phonebook entry so it has unique settings. 

o Terminal emulator 

  HyperACCESS offers the following terminal emulators: 

   - Auto-detect 

     Using the Auto-detect feature of HyperACCESS Lite allows the program to 
     determine the best terminal emulation to use the first time a connection 
     is made, thus freeing the user from deciding which terminal emulation to 
     use. For a new session, Auto-detect is the default. 

   - ANSI 

     The ANSI emulator supports American National Standards Institute displays. 
     These displays are usually implemented with the ANSI.SYS device driver on 
     PC compatible computers. Because HyperACCESS Lite completely supports the 
     ANSI display standard, you do not need to add ANSI.SYS to your CONFIG.SYS 
     file. 

     This emulator is often used with computerized bulletin boards and other 
     remote systems that send graphics characters or ANSI color codes. 

     Not all fonts contain the ANSI graphics characters needed for proper 
     terminal emulation. Using a font without graphics characters may produce 
     unusual results. 

   - VT100 

     This Digital Equipment Company (DEC) emulator supports cursor memory, 
     cursor reporting, tab stops, scrolling regions, half and full duplex 
     operation, origin mode, and host-controlled printer operations. 

   - VT52 

     This Digital Equipment Company (DEC) emulator supports cursor memory, 
     cursor reporting, tab stops, scrolling regions, half and full duplex 
     operation, origin mode, and host-controlled printer operations. 

o Terminal setup... 

   - ANSI 

     Settings for this terminal emulator are for the appearance of the cursor 
     on the screen. 

   - VT100 

     Settings for this Digital Equipment Company (DEC) terminal emulator 
     include cursor appearance, keypad application mode, cursor keypad mode, 
     and 132 column mode. 

   - VT52 

     Settings for this Digital Equipment Company (DEC) terminal emulator 
     include cursor appearance and alternate keypad mode. 

o Function, Arrow, and Ctrl keys act as 

  This setting is for specifying whether you want function, arrow, and Ctrl 
  keys on your keyboard to act as keys on a terminal or on your computer. 

   - Terminal keys 

     Select Terminal keys to have the keys on your keyboard act as keys on a 
     terminal connected to a remote system.

═══ 7.8. Getting Started ═══

HyperACCESS Lite makes it very easy for you to communicate by modem with 
another computer or computer system. 

In modem communications, the communications medium is the public telephone 
system. Your modem can be internal (inside your computer system unit) or 
external (attached by a cable to a connector on the outside of your computer 
system unit). You connect your computer or external modem to your telephone 
line according to the directions that came with your equipment. Then, with 
communications software (HyperACCESS Lite, for example), you have your modem 
dial the telephone number of the other computer. When the connection is made, 
you hear a distinctive sound and a communication from the other computer 
appears on your screen as text or graphics. Now you can send or receive 
messages, computer files, or, (if you have a data/fax modem and fax software), 
faxes. 

An internal modem is a device, often called a card, that fits in a slot inside 
your computer. When your computer is turned on, your modem is ready to operate. 

An external modem, housed in a plastic case, is connected to your computer with 
a cable. An external modem has a switch that you use to turn it on and off. It 
also has indicator lights that show the progress of your communication 
connection. Modems are rated by the speed at which they transmit data. 
HyperACCESS Lite supports modems with speeds of from 300 to 115,200 baud, or 
bits per second (bps). For communicating with computer systems such as personal 
online and bulletin board services, you should use a modem with a speed of at 
least 2400 baud. 

When your modem is installed, turned on, and ready to communicate, start 
HyperACCESS Lite. Immediately, the Phonebook appears on the screen. HyperACCESS 
Lite has already set up U.S. telephone numbers for most of the systems you see 
on the screen. And CommSense (TM) (patent pending) sets up your modem with 
appropriate parity, data bits, and stop bits. All you need to do to connect 
with the systems that have these default settings is double-click the icon. 

If default settings are not available for some of the systems you want to 
communicate with, contact the system administrators for information about 
telephone numbers, baud rates, and modem settings. Some systems have local 
offices that you can reach by telephone. 


═══ 7.9. Interacting with a Remote System ═══

When you connect through your modem to another computer or computer system, you 
see text or graphics from the other system on the HyperACCESS Lite terminal 
screen. The format of the information on the screen and how you interact with 
it depends upon the software of the other system. Some systems display menus, 
and you make selections. With some systems, the information you receive is 
displayed on your screen, but the text you type in response is not displayed. 


═══ 7.10. Opening the Phonebook ═══

When you start HyperACCESS Lite, the Phonebook opens itself. The Phonebook is 
displayed on top of the terminal screen. You can move the Phonebook around on 
the screen and interact with other elements on the screen as you need to, even 
while the Phonebook is displayed. 

Another way to open the Phonebook is to: 

Select Open Phonebook... from the File menu. 


═══ 7.11. Pasting Text to Host Computers ═══

═══ 7.15. Reviewing Received Text ═══

With the Backscroll Buffer, you can review text that you have received on your 
terminal screen that has already scrolled up out of your ordinary view. To see 
the scrolled text, press the up arrow in the vertical scroll bar on the right 
of your terminal screen. Or drag the slider bar upward. (On many computers, you 
can also press the Page Up key.) 

You can select text in the Backscroll Buffer for printing or pasting to the 
host computer. 

The HyperACCESS Lite Backscroll Buffer holds a maximum of 100 lines. (In 
Hilgraeve's full-featured products, you can adjust the size of the Backscroll 
Buffer, up to 5000 lines.) 


═══ 7.16. Sending Files ═══

When you are going to send a file to a remote system:
