You can work with the defaults provided by the program for the appearance and operation of your terminal, or you can change them. To customize these parameters before beginning emulation or file transfer, see Customizing 3270 Emulation.
To accept the defaults and begin display or printer emulation, see Fast Path to 3270 Terminal Emulation, or follow the more detailed instructions in this chapter. To begin file transfer without changing your appearance and performance parameters, see Transferring Files.
After starting the 3270 emulation program as described in Getting Started with 3270 Emulation, you can access the main screen at any time. If you are logged on to a 3270 session, press ACTIONS (default keystroke Ctrl + U) to display the main screen.
The ACTIONS keystroke is not required in the Motif interface. You can access the menus from the top of the session window at any time, provided that no menus or dialog boxes are displayed on any other 3270 session windows.
The main screen provides the following pull-down menus for controlling 3270 emulation:
File
Customize
Control
This chapter covers the Control options. Customizing 3270 Emulation, explains how to use the Customize menu options to change your terminal's appearance and performance during 3270 emulation and how to use the File menu to save the changes in style files for future use.
Use the Control menu to do the following:
