&040Help System
The help window can be started from a dialog box, which has a help
button, or from the menu option Mocha Help or pressing the Help Key
Inside the Help Window, it is possible to jump to topics which are
marked with an underscore.
Near the bottom of the help window are a set of navigation buttons:
(Contents) : Jump to the Contents page
(Back) : Goto recently viewed page
(Forward) : Goto recently viewed page
(Close) : Close the Help System
&042 How to make a connection
Mocha Telnet can be started in two ways:
1) Click on file mtelnet (application program)
2) Click on mtelnet document (an example called telnet - myhost
is included with the installation
package)
Mocha Telnet will read the configuration from the file it is started
from. This makes it possible to save different configurations as
mtelnet documents.
The license key information is also stored in the mtelnet document,
and will be checked at program start. It is possible to store the
license information with the mtelnet application program. Click on
the file, and enter the license information at menu - settings -
license dialog box. Hereafter it is not necessary to type in the
license information for all mtelnet documents. The only problem with
this solution, occur if a new version of Mocha Mac Telnet is
installed, hereafter it is necessary to enter the license key again.
We will recommend using the mtelnet document to start Mocha Mac Telnet.
This gives the possibility to install new versions of the program,
without losing the configuration. Use the normal File Duplicate command
to make a copy of the mtelnet document.
