USING SKYLITE
See page 51.
stop your user ID and password from being stored in the command stack while logging
on.
You can also write an AutoConnect login macro that will automatically log you on to a
system.
You can resend previously entered commands to the host system. You may edit any
command. If you send a previously used command, it automatically moves to the top of
the command stack. The toolbar button on the left shows the contents of the Command
Stack.
SkyLite will store commands which:
• Are at least four characters long, although you can alter this setting. See
Configuring Editing on page 22.
• Do not contain any control characters.
• Are terminated by a carriage return.
• Do not duplicate the most recently used command.
To disable the stack, deselect the relevant check box in the Editing option of the
Configure menu.
Each SkyLite session will maintain its own command stack. So if you have multiple open
sessions, you will have multiple command stacks open.
Using the Special Keys Function
The Special Key function allows you to enter characters that are not on your keyboard
into a session, characters such as ç, Å, , Æ, é.
You can select the special keys either from the menu, where the characters are grouped
by accent or character type, or you can use shortcut keys to insert certain characters, for
example, Alt+k, apostrophe, e will give you é.
Note: Not all emulations support the full range of characters, so they may not always be
available. Also, the host may not accept certain characters and could echo them back
differently.
To use the Special Key Menu
1. Pull down the Special Key menu and select the character grouping that you need,
for example, Acute, Grave.
2. Select the key you want, either by using the shortcut key for lower case letters, by
selecting with your mouse, or by using the arrow keys and pressing the Return
key.
You can also select the keys from the
Character Map. Selecting characters from
the character map means that you can
leave the Character Map open while you
are doing other work in your session.
