Using the Display InterfaceUsing the Display InterfaceBlueZone has several tool bars which allow quick access to many functions. The tool bars may be customized by each user or customized by the administrator to match the emulator being replaced.
ToolBars types include:
Menu Buttons which provide one click access to any function accessible through the menu system.
3270 or 5250 Keys send the indicated aid key to the host.
Quick Colors allow the user to quickly select and change emulation colors.
Auto-Entry saves all or selected user input and automatically reenters it when selected from the list. Saved input may also be edited. This is a good method for storing frequently used Command Lines or IND$File transfers.
TN3270E or TN5250E provides quick access to TN related functions including a drop down box showing TN connections, launching the session configuration dialog, and starting and stopping traces. This is the only tool bar that cannot be customized.
The BlueZone ToolBar is completely user definable. Buttons can be removed, added and rearranged on the BlueZone ToolBar.
To customize the ToolBar select View:Properties from the BlueZone MenuBar. The View Properties dialog will display. Select the ToolBars tab. The four ToolBars listed above, are available for customization.
