CHAPTER 2
USING SKYLITE
Starting SkyLite
To start SkyLite you can either:
• Double-click on the SkyLite icon. This will open the last session closed by default.
• Double-click on the SKYLITE.EXE file. This will open the last session closed by
default.
• Double-click on a session file (.ses). This will open that session.
• Open SkyLite from the Start button using the Programs option. This will also
open the last session closed by default.
Exiting SkyLite
To exit from SkyLite, you can either:
• Click on the Exit toolbar button.
• Click on the standard Windows Close button.
• Select the Exit option from the Session menu.
Exit All
Select the Exit All option from the Session menu to close and exit from all currently
running SkyLite sessions.
See page 19.
See page 17.
Sessions
A session is a network link between your computer and a remote host. Starting a session
does not automatically connect you to, or log you on to, your host system. You can
configure SkyLite to automatically connect and log on however, sending your username
and password to a system, and/or auto-starting a macro, and/or auto-dialing a modem
connection.
By default, SkyLite starts up with the session that was used the last time you ran SkyLite.
If you have no previous valid session, SkyLite will not connect to any system, and you
must set up a session using the New option on the Session menu.
You can open more than one session at a time, either by starting multiple copies of
SkyLite (from Program Manager) or via the Open Another command on SkyLite’s
Session menu.
Session templates can be generated. New sessions can be based on the parameters
established in these templates. A template is based on a previously created session file and
contains all the data saved in that file.
Creating a New Session
The following section tells you how to create a session. You can also configure a session
without SkyLite running.
To set up a new session:
1. Select New from the Session menu. If more than one Session Template is
available, a dialog appears. Select the required template from the dialog and select
OK, or select Cancel if no template is required. If only one template is available,
this will be used by default.
2. The Configure Session dialog is then displayed. This is also available from the
Configure menu.
