Other Menu

<#743#>[Other]<#743#> has two items:

[Edit Function Keys]	allows you to assign a string and/or macro commands to a function key.
[Dialer]	setup the dialling sequences and telephone numbers for your modem.

Select the <#749#>[RS232]<#749#> item in the <#751#>[Settings]<#751#> menu and a new dialog will appear. Selecting the different values for the parameters is quite straightforward, just click on the buttons with the right values (we hope you know them, otherwise you will just have to experiment) and when you are finished select <#753#>[OK]<#753#>. To save the setup, select <#755#>[Save setup]<#755#> from the <#757#>[File]<#757#> menu, a normal GEM file selector dialog will appear, if you want to use this setup as default, save it with the name <#759#>UNITERM.SET<#759#> and UniTerm will load it automatically on startup. To leave the help screen select <#761#>[Quit Menu]<#761#>, press <#763#><#764#>〈<#764#>Q<#765#>〉<#765#><#763#> or the left mouse button once.

If you have adjusted the parameters correctly, you should now be able to communicate with your host computer. Some operating systems (VMS) try to identify the terminal automatically, depending on your setup UniTerm will identify itself as a DEC VT200, VT102, VT100 or as an VT100 emulating a VT52. A VT102/VT200 has more ``advanced'' editing functions (which results in less overhead in transmitting inserts etc.) so leave this option on VT102/VT200 if possible. If you have to enter the terminal type manually try VT102 first (changing from VT102 to VT100 or to VT200 only changes the report from UniTerm, not the actual commands UniTerm understands).
