<h4><a name = "terminal">Terminal </a></h4>
This controls the way Streamer talks to the tnc. There are three groups of entries; Streams, Terminal and
Beeps. <p>

<h4>Configuring the terminal settings</h4>
Streams sets the width, wordwrap and input lines variables for the stream windows. Display input should be
selected if you have your tnc configured not to echo your input. Streamer will then add your input to the RX
area of the stream window, in a colour of your choice. <p>
The switch entry, chosen from the popup menu, sets the way Streamer controls flow between the various
stream windows and the signal channel communication port to the tnc. Choices are: <p>
<dl>
<dt><code>None </code>
<dd>No stream switching
<dt><code>Simple </code>
<dd>Simple stream switching as in earlier versions of Streamer
<dt><code>RXBlock </code>
<dd>This uses the RXBlock facility offered by some tnc's to filter out monitored traffic, etc, from
connected streams
<dt><code>cmd: </code>
<dd>This is the same as Simple but attempts to stop extraneous cmd: prompts from going to connected
streams </dl>
The max streams entry should be the same as the Users setting on your tnc (except Users 0 => Max streams 10). The Stream switch setting should be the same as the Streamswitch setting on your tnc. Use the &xx
form to enter the ASCII code for control keys. <p>
The Terminal area controls details of the terminal emulation. Characters in Send ctrl are sent to the tnc
immediately, if typed as control characters. The Sent line end entry (chosen from the popup menu) is the
end of line sequence. 8th bit strip should be left unset if using binary transfer. It must be clear if RXBlock is
in use. The Break time entry sets the length of break signals sent to escape from transparent mode, in centi-
seconds. <p>
The final area, Beeps, sets which of the four kinds of beep (or bell sound) are used. Ctrl G refers to bell
characters received from the tnc. These can become annoying, especially if you are monitoring binary
traffic, so you can deselect this option if you like. The Connect, Disconnect and Node beep options produce
beeps of different pitch for connections, disconnections and connections to a node. They work
independently of the Ctrl G setting.<p>
Click on OK to confirm your choices or Cancel to revert to your original choices. <p>
