ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. General help ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
HyperACCESS Pro is the fastest, easiest, most powerful communications software
available for OS/2. HyperACCESS Pro is 100% native 32-bit code, and fully
exploits OS/2 multiple threads and graphical user interface.
HyperACCESS Pro makes accessing BBSs, online services, and internet telnet
sites easy, yet gives you power and depth for your enterprise-wide connectivity
needs.
Automate
Perform any online access process hands-free, even multi-site polling
applications or unattended file transfer.
Customize
Define custom buttons or keys for your own use, or to simplify online
processes for employees or customers.
Access hosts
Access virtually any host computer that supports asynchronous terminals.
Transfer files Ship files to or from remote PCs or host computers, fast
and error-free.
New functions include:
Remote maintenance
Solve problems or do routine software maintenance on distant OS/2 PCs or
host computers, without leaving your office.
Remote support
Provide training or technical support to other OS/2 PC users through a
modem, the Internet, or LANs.
Application/resource sharing
Put shared data applications or hardware resources (databases, compilers,
CD-ROMs, printers) on a common PC to be accessed by others through LANs
or modems.
Remote LAN access
Dial in to a PC connected to your LAN to use e-mail or host connections,
check progress of backups, and so forth.
Telecommuting
Operate your work PC from home or on the road.
With HyperACCESS Pro, you get the most powerful terminal communications and
perfectly integrated OS/2 remote control, all in one easy-to-use package.
Not only can you control other OS/2 PCs, you can let them control yours.
HyperACCESS Pro comes with HyperHost, a powerful host program that can accept
data calls from anyone with terminal communications software, through modems,
serial cable, the Internet, or LAN. Authorized callers can transfer files and
do file management. And callers with HyperACCESS Pro can operate your OS/2
desktop and programs, just as you can run theirs. HyperHost can answer calls
while you're there or away. When you're present, you can chat with callers
(using keyboards), take turns controlling your PC, or control it together.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Menus ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Context-sensitive help for menu choices.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.1. Phonebook Panel ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Phonebook panel is a notebook that contains phonebook entries. You can
create additional notebooks and use them as phonebook panels. New notebooks
appear as additional tabbed panels.
Double-clicking on an entry is the easiest way to begin a communications
session. However, there are other techniques. For example, you can drag the
entry and drop it on the Terminal tab, or you can use the File menu to begin a
communications session.
There are a series of index tabs at the top of each notebook panel. The All tab
displays all entries in the current notebook sorted alphabetically. Selecting
an individual tab letter displays a sheet with only those entries that have
names beginning with that letter.
If you can't see all the tabs, use the double-arrow buttons (to the left and
right of the tabs) to scroll the tabs. These buttons don't change the selected
tab. The left and right single-arrow buttons (in the upper-right corner of the
top sheet of the notebook panel) enable you to move the selected tab one
position at a time. The letter selected changes with each click of one of these
buttons.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.2. Phonebook File Menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use the Phonebook panel File menu for adding and deleting entries, beginning a
communications session, and exiting HyperACCESS.
The File menu is different for other panels.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.3. Phonebook File/New ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
New displays the Notebook Entry Type dialog. You select the type of entry you
would like to create: a standard notebook entry or an enhanced notebook entry
for accessing a PC running HyperACCESS Pro for OS/2 as a HyperHost. Regardless
of the type of entry you select, New... displays the Description dialog. For a
standard notebook entry, you enter an entry name, select or add an icon, and
specify a phonebook and terminal emulator. For an enhanced phonebook entry, you
do not specify an emulator.
HyperACCESS then displays the Communications dialog, where you can change any
of the default settings. This new entry uses settings from the New Entry
Template.
The contents of this dialog depend on the type of connection selected as the
default when HyperACCESS was installed.
Opening a new notebook entry or exiting HyperACCESS automatically saves your
new notebook entry. HyperACCESS creates a filename based on the notebook entry
name you entered in the Description dialog.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.4. Phonebook File/Open ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
When you select an entry, the grayed (unavailable) Open... becomes available.
Open... displays the Terminal panel with the name of the selected notebook
entry in the title bar and sets communications parameters to those of the
entry. It does not connect to the communications port or dial the phone number.
Note: You can open the New Entry Template and modify default settings from the
Terminal panel. However, you can't connect to a remote computer or type in the
Terminal panel when the New Entry Template is open (HyperACCESS displays a
warning dialog if you attempt either of these actions).
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.5. Phonebook File/Save As ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Select Save as... from the File menu to save the selected notebook entry with a
new name that you specify. It displays the Description dialog. When you enter a
notebook entry name, select an icon, and click OK, HyperACCESS creates a
notebook entry filename with an HAO extension, and displays the standard Save
As dialog. This dialog enables you to change the filename, drive, and directory
to use for the save.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.6. Phonebook File/Import ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Select Import... to import entry files that don't currently appear in the
notebook. This menu choice displays the Import File browse dialog where you can
select a drive, directory, and file. Unlike other browse dialogs, Import File
enables you to make multiple selections from the file list. Once you select one
or more notebook entry files, HyperACCESS displays the entry in the current
notebook.
Note: You can also perform an import by dragging a notebook entry file (usually
with an HAO extension) from an OS/2 drive folder onto the notebook panel on
which you want it to appear.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.7. Phonebook File/Delete ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Delete... removes an entry from this notebook. This menu choice displays a
warning dialog with the following choices:
Remove from Phonebook
Removes the entry from the phonebook, but doesn't delete its file from
the disk.
Delete from Disk
Removes the entry from the phonebook and deletes its file from the disk.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.8. Phonebook File/Properties ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Select Properties to specify various settings for HyperACCESS. This menu choice
displays a cascade menu of properties sheets. Among parameters you specify
through Properties sheets are names and icons for notebook entries;
communications settings such as connection and phone number; terminal emulator
and custom settings for the emulator; ASCII receiving and sending parameters;
file transfer protocols; paths used for logon program, capture file, and log
file; and default preferences for mouse behavior, fonts, colors and other
settings.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.9. Phonebook File/Connect ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Connect opens the Terminal panel, makes a connection, and dials the phone
number (if appropriate).
You can specify the amount of time to wait for a carrier signal, number of and
time between retries, and the volume of your modem speaker in the Dialing
Details dialog. You access this dialog when applicable for the connection
device (for example, a modem) by clicking the Dialing Details... button in the
Communications properties sheet.
When you select a notebook entry that doesn't have a phone number for
connection devices that require one, HyperACCESS displays a warning dialog that
tells you to enter a phone number and displays the Communications dialog.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.10. Phonebook File/Connect and Record Logon ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Connect and Record Logon records a logon sequence to use for future
connections. This menu choice displays the Terminal panel and the Recording in
Progress window, and dials the phone number (if one exists) or displays a
warning and Communications dialogs to obtain the number. Once HyperACCESS
establishes connection with the remote computer, you must manually log on to
the system.
HyperACCESS begins learning your keystrokes as soon as you're connected to the
remote computer. When you complete all commands you want HyperACCESS to learn,
select Stop! from the menu bar of the Recording in Progress window.

AA (Auto Answer)
CD (Carrier Detect)
OH (Off Hook)
RD (Receive Data)
SD (Send Data)
TR (Terminal Ready)
MR (Modem Ready)
Note: A modem's MR indicator cannot be read by software, so HyperACCESS
infers this state from the modem's DSR (Data Set Ready) signal.
Note: The LED display closely matches actual modem indicators, but it's not
precisely in sync, due to OS/2 communications drivers and buffering.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.90. Terminal View/Panel Tabs ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

recording capabilities.
HyperACCESS can record your interaction with remote systems and generate REXX
programs to automate your communications. The generated REXX programs use the
HyperACCESS Application Programming Interface (HAPI) functions. For more about
HAPI, and the definition of the functions available, see the HyperACCESS
Application Programming Interface Manual. That manual also provides programming
examples for both simple and complex tasks.
Note: Depending on the product you purchase, the HyperACCESS Application
Programming Interface Manual might be only on disk.

Your keystrokes and interaction with the remote system generate additional
statements in the Recording in Progress window. You can edit statements as they
appear, or you can wait to customize the generated program after you've stopped
recording.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.147. Message Pad Options Menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Options menu has two choices that control how the Message Pad behaves.
These choices enable and configure chat mode and word wrap.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.148. Message Pad Options/Chat Mode ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The term chat mode means an interactive session with a remote system. It
usually implies that another person is on the other end of the interaction, and
that you want to carry on a "conversation" with that person.
When selected (checked), the Chat mode menu choice enables chat mode. When chat
mode is enabled, HyperACCESS sends the current Message Pad contents whenever
you press the Enter key. After sending the Message Pad contents in chat mode,
HyperACCESS clears the Message Pad window in preparation for your next message.
To disable chat mode, unselect this menu choice.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.149. Message Pad Options/Word Wrap ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Word wrap occurs when a text editor or word processor breaks a line at the end
of a word or at punctuation. The term word wrap usually implies that whole
words move to the next line without hyphenation. HyperACCESS supports word wrap
in the Message Pad window for readability and because some host systems have
relatively short maximum line lengths (for example, MCI Mail has a maximum line
length of 79 characters).
When selected, Word wrap... displays the Word Wrap dialog. Use this dialog to
select either automatic or manual line formatting. With automatic formatting
selected, you can set the maximum line width using the edit field or its
associated spin button. When you send text to the host from the Message Pad,
HyperACCESS sends all visible line endings, whether typed manually by pressing
Enter or inserted by automatic formatting.
If you select manual formatting, HyperACCESS sends only line endings typed
manually. If you leave the Wrap to fit Message Pad check box selected (the
default), HyperACCESS word wraps lines too wide to fit the Message Pad window,
but doesn't send corresponding line endings. If you unselect this check box,
you will need to use the horizontal scroll bar to view lines wider than the
Message Pad window.
The Message Pad follows settings in the ASCII Sending properties sheet when
sending text. If you need to change settings for line endings, wait for
specific prompt characters, add delays, and so on, use the ASCII Sending
properties sheet. (You can select ASCII sending... from the Terminal panel
Properties menu.)
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.150. Message Pad Send! ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Send! performs an immediate action, because it doesn't have any menu choices.
Send! transmits the contents of Message Pad to the remote system. If necessary,
HyperACCESS initiates a connection to the remote system before sending the
Message Pad contents.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.151. Message Pad Automation Menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Message Pad Automation menu has the same items as its Phonebook panel

Utilities dialog.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.155. Message Pad Automation/Buttons ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Select Buttons... to display a dialog where you can define or modify
system-defined buttons that appear in the Toolbar.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.156. Lists Panel ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Lists panel provides a tool for viewing lists of remote systems. Lists can
come from various sources.
HyperACCESS comes with several lists. You can also use the Lists Panel for
large lists, which you create, of HyperHost PCs you can connect to. For
example, in a large corporation there might be a list that includes all
workstations licensed to use HyperHost. It might be possible to export an
appropriate, comma-delimited file from a corporate database of network users.
If you are part of a TCP/IP network, you might be able to use an existing
"hosts" file.
In addition, you can download lists from various bulletin board systems, or
export lists from contact programs and personal information managers (PIMs).
These lists give you the option of calling thousands of systems, yet the space
required to store the information is minimal compared to regular notebook
entries.
For you to use a list file, it must have a template. The list files that come
with HyperACCESS have predefined templates. You can create templates for list
files you download or create.
Each menu on the menu bar provides control over the Lists panel and how it's
used or displayed. Briefly, the menus are:
File
Open or save a list file, copy entries to a notebook, or place a trial
call. You can also find menu items to create a list template, print a
list, and exit HyperACCESS.
Edit
Cut or copy selected text to the clipboard. It also features a search
capability with the Find... menu choice.
View
Customize various features of the Lists panel.
