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.
