INTRODUCTION TO TERMINAL EMULATION
A video display terminal is basically a relatively dumb com-
puter which is linked up to another computer (over a cable or
modem link) and displays what that computer sends to it. A
mainframe or mini computer has a large amount of processing
power and can drive a number of terminals at the same time.
There are many different terminal types. Each one follows its
own codes for controlling how information is displayed on the
screen. For example, there are sequences to clear the screen,
move the cursor, scroll the display, and so on. Most terminals
also have special keys which send special sequences back to
the main computer.
Telix can emulate several terminals. While in terminal mode,
you may change the terminal type Telix is currently emulating
by pressing Alt-T. The default terminal can also be set in the
'Terminal settings' page of the Configuration Menu.
