| There are different mod types available for a 3270 |
| emulator window, to see/change the mod type do the |
| following from the Communications Manager Main Menu: |
| ADVANCED > CONFIGURATION > 3270 FEATURE PROFILES > |

| c. MOD 4 - 44 x 80 |
| d. MOD 5 - 28 x 132 |
| e. OTHER - User selects the size. |
| |
| There are two "presentation space sizes" that are sent |
| from the Host: |
| |
| a. PRIMARY size - the default that Host sends at start |
| up time - this is ALWAYS 25 x 80. |
| b. ALTERNATE size - the size that the Host will change |
| to (according to application), this size depends on |
| which MOD type was selected for the session in the |
| 3270 Feature Profiles. |
| |
| 2. 05/07/93 FONT SIZES on 3270 EMULATOR WINDOWS. |
| There are different font sizes available on a 3270 |
| Emulator window, to see/change the font size do the |
| following: |
| a. Use mouse to click on the upper left side box on |
| 3270 Emulator Window. |
| b. Select Emulator Operations |
| c. Select FONT SIZE, then OK |
| |
| 3. 05/07/93 COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER WILL ALWAYS RESPECT |
| THE FONT SIZE SELECTED BY THE USER, NOT THE WINDOW |
| SIZE PRESENTED ON THE PRIMARY SIZE INFORMATION. |
| a. If the 3270 Emulator does not have enough space to |
| present the data on the mod type selected (for ALT |
| sized information) then SCROLL BARS will be displayed |
| b. If user doesn't like the scroll bars then they will |
| have to select a font size big enough to cover the |
| mod type for the emulator session. |

| 1. 05/07/93 UNDER EXTENDED SERVICES THE FIRST 3270 SESSION |
| DOES NOT REMEMBER PRIOR SETTINGS AT BOOT UP. |
| User has at least two 3270 sessions defined. |
| If 3270 emulator sessions are minimized and |
| then Shutdown is performed, when the system is |
| rebooted the A session comes up with default |
| values (not minimized), other sessions come up |
| fine. |
