Unisys T27 or UTS toolbars

BlueZone has several toolbars which allow quick access to many functions. The toolbars may be customized by the end user or customized by the BlueZone administrator to match the emulator being replaced.

Toolbar types include:

Menu Buttons: Provides one click access to any function accessible through the menu system.
UTS or T27 Keys: Sends the indicated aid key to the host.
Quick Colors: Allows 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 can also be edited. This is a good method for storing frequently used command lines.
Unisys DCA: Provides quick access to DCA related functions including a drop-down box showing DCA connections, launching the session configuration dialog, starting, stopping and viewing traces.
Note: This is the only toolbar that cannot be customized.
