USING SKYLITE CHAPTER 2 See page 50. To automatically connect when starting a session: Enable the Start Session When Application Starts check box. To automatically run a macro when starting a session: Enter the macro file name in the Macro name box, or select a specific macro file to run using the Macro button; then enter the relevant details in the dialog that appears. This is a “logging on” macro. If you are recording a logon macro, you may need to fill in the Username and Password fields. Opening a Session To open a session: Use the Open option in the Session menu or use the toolbar button shown. At the bottom of the Session menu is a list of your previous sessions to choose from. If you open a new session, the current session is closed - you are prompted to confirm this. If you have not previously saved the session, you need to create a new session. Saving a Session To save SkyLite’s current session: Use the Save option from the Session menu or the toolbar button shown. To save your session parameters to a file with a different name: Use the Save As option from the Session menu. Any changes that you have made since the last save or the beginning of this SkyLite session will still be active. You can select an image from the Image list box to associate with a particular session in the Save As dialog. Connecting to a Session To connect to a currently-opened session: Select the Connect option from the Session menu or click the toolbar button shown. Alternatively, to open and automatically connect to a session, when you are configuring your session, use the Start Session When Application Starts option in the AutoConnect dialog. Disconnecting from a Session To disconnect from your current session: Select the Disconnect option from the Session menu or click on the toolbar button shown opposite, while keeping SkyLite open. This allows you to open and/or connect to another session without running multiple copies of SkyLite. Connecting to Multiple Sessions To open another session while keeping your current session open: Select the Open Another option from the Session menu. This starts another instance of SkyLite using your specified session at start-up. You can have any number of host sessions running concurrently. This is limited only by available PC memory, or by any other restrictions imposed by, for example, network communication protocols. 18 POISE-SkyLite User Guide

CHAPTER 2 USING SKYLITE Each concurrent terminal can run its own emulation with its own set of backpages under its own configuration and with its own printing facilities. If a host system is outputting to one session while you are looking at another session, SkyLite will not suspend the host output. You can switch between each session using the normal Windows Alt/Tab key to see the current status of the host applications running on each of the sessions. Creating Session Templates To generate session templates: Open a new session in the normal way and set up the session so that it matches the parameters of the template you wish to create, for example, the configuration of the session, the background and font colors, etc. Save the session and close SkyLite. Change the filename extension of the session from .ses to .set. The session file is now a template file. If there is only one such template available, whenever a new session is created, this template will be used as the basis for the new session. If more than one template has been created, the required template can be chosen from a dialog box which is displayed when New is selected from the Session menu. If no template is selected at this point, the default SkyLite settings are used. Editing The following sections describe: • The Edit menu. • OLE support in SkyLite. • Using the command stack. • Using the Special Key function. • Configuring editing. The Edit Menu The Edit menu allows you to copy and paste selected text. These functions will only be activated once you have selected text. The Edit menu also includes the following functions: Insert new object, Delete object, and Delete all objects. These items are inserting and deleting OLE objects. Copy You can select and copy text from normal pages and from backpages using the same methods. To select text: Hold down the Ctrl key while dragging the mouse across the relevant area. This is configurable in the Configure Editing dialog. To copy selected text from the current session into the Clipboard: Select the Copy option from the Edit menu. If the context menus are enabled in SkyLite, then you can copy text by using the right mouse button and selecting the Copy option from the menu that is displayed. Paste To paste text from the Clipboard into the current session: From the Edit menu, select the Paste option or click the toolbar button shown opposite. POISE-SkyLite User Guide 19
