USING SKYLITE CHAPTER 2 See page 35. If the application you are using has line drawing, you can give the screen a 3D look and feel. To give the screen a 3D look and feel: Select Sculpt Line Drawing. For best effect, set the attributes to a black foreground on a light gray background. IMPORTANT: You should NOT adjust the Sculpt Line Drawing setting if you are using SkyLite in conjunction with enhanced OpenVMS-based POISE applications. Configuring the Terminal See page 32. The Terminal option in the Configure menu allows you to change terminal-specific details for your session, for example, the settings for the Caps Lock key and Num Lock key settings at the start of a session. To set the initial state of the session’s and keys: 1. Select Terminal from the Configure menu. 2. Num Lock sets the initial state of the key. If the Num Lock key is set to Host key, then SkyLite will send whatever the Num Lock key is mapped to, this may be an emulation-specific sequence, i.e., the DEC’s PF1 or it may be a user-defined sequence. It will not perform the Num Lock toggle functionality, even though the Num Lock light on the keyboard will change when this key is used. If the Num Lock key is set to Num Lock toggle, then SkyLite will perform the Num Lock toggle regardless of what the Num Lock key is mapped to. SkyLite will also toggle the keyboard Num Lock light correctly. If the Num Lock key is set to Emulation defined and there is a mapping to the Num Lock key, then SkyLite will send this mapping when the Num Lock key is 38 POISE-SkyLite User Guide

CHAPTER 2 USING SKYLITE used. If there is not a default mapping to this key, then SkyLite will perform the Num Lock toggle. 3. Use Caps Lock and select either no change, force on (upper case), or force off (lower case). The state of the Caps Lock is forced only when connecting the sessions; the state of the Caps Lock is not saved for multiple sessions. 4. Page Keys is set to show backpages by default. However, some host applications need to use page keys (say, for their own paging processes) by interrogating the keystrokes returned from the user’s terminal emulation. For SkyLite to send to the host the characters generated by the and keys, set Page Keys to Host. 5. Use Cursor to define each session’s cursor type. You can select either Block or Underlined cursor. The Journal The Journal option configures journaling. This is a powerful feature that reports messages back to the user while running SkyLite. You should only use the journal to trace errors, in debugging application code, or when encountering problems, as enabling Journaling may slow SkyLite down noticeably. Journaling records general information about the processes occurring inside the product. Viewing the Journal To display SkyLite’s journal in a separate window: Select Journal from the Configure menu. This displays the Journal dialog. Check the Journaling Enabled box and click on OK. POISE-SkyLite User Guide 39
