Distinct IntelliTerm’s Entry Assist function enhances the ability to create
and edit text material such as memos, letters, reports, and lists. Unlike
real 3270 or 5250 terminals, Distinct IntelliTerm’s Entry Assist functions
do not require support from the IBM host editors or the IBM host system.
With Entry Assist enabled, the following extensions are available:
-
Word wrap
-
Columnar tabbing
-
Audible end-of-line signal (Bell)
-
Cursor Position Display
-
Definable HOME Position
TN3270 and TN5250 provide cursor word positioning, word delete, and tab
to end-of-line functions without requiring Entry Assist to be enabled.
Unlike other emulators, the Word Wrap feature can work within preset margins
or can automatically use the field width as the left and right margins.
This allows you to easily use Word Wrap from system to system without constantly
setting the margins.
You can set the Entry Assist features by selecting Session Profile from
the Options menu, and then choosing the Entry Assist category.
