Scratch pad
The scratch pad feature provides a text window for BlueZone users to temporarily save information in BlueZone sessions. Information can be copied, pasted, or typed inside the scratch pad. The scratch pad data can be cleared or saved to a file for later use.
The scratch pad is a type of power pad and can be docked to the top, bottom, left or right window, just like a power pad is docked. Docking is enabled using the power pad Enable Docking check box. To change this setting, click View Properties and click the Power Pads tab. Only one power pad or scratch pad can be docked per edge of the terminal emulator window. Power pads or the scratch pad cannot dock to another power pad or scratch pad.
If the scratch pad is closed while text is still in the window, the text reappears when you reopen the scratch pad.
To open the scratch pad, click View Scratch Pad. The scratch pad contains the following toolbar icons:
