Following are some of the changes in Macterminal 2.0 that affect 3278
emulation:
1. 25th LINE: For status line. You need, of course, to re-configure your
AppleLine.
2. NEW LINE: Now supported! The "Return" key is now NEW LINE. The "Enter"
key retains its old function, ENTER.
3. NUMERIC KEYPAD: Remapped to include all 3278 keys--no numeric keys!
4. PASTE in PROFS: Now you can paste data into a PROFS file as well as any
other IBM application that does not use line numbering. (Only through an
AppleLine, though.) Pasting multi-line text selections into IBM 3278
documents with MacTerminal 1.1 caused ENTER to be sent after each line.
This problem has been fixed.
5. RECORD SCREENS: More trap-conditions were added. You still can't see
your ISPF screens, but at least in plain TSO you can LIST a file, and
it'll be recorded.
NOTE: The selection box for Recording Screens appears under FILE
TRANSFER!
6. CURSOR POSITIONING OVERRUN: If you work with a protocol converter that
can't handle the big burst of characters sent on cursor positioning (up
to 312 chars...), put some DELAY BETWEEN CHARS!
7. DELETE on Pull-Down Keypad: Now sends the right sequence ('7F'). There
is no way to produce '1F'.
8. SHIFT-TAB for BackTab has been added.
9. APPLE CLUSTER CONTROLLER: Full support now exists for Pull-Down Keypad.
10. Increased throughput: This is probably more noticable at higher baud
rates, but MacTerminal 2.0 receives and displays characters about 1.5
times more quickly as version 1.1.
