CHAPTER 2 Getting Started
This chapter describes the basic procedure for creating and running a session and describes various TeemTalk display features.
Introduction
This chapter describes how to use the TeemTalk Session Wizard to
create a session configuration file, then the various methods
available to run it. An overview of the TeemTalk window elements
follows, then descriptions of the configuration bar and status bar.
Creating a Session Using the Session Wizard
Introduction TeemTalk enables you to create session configuration files which
specify the terminal emulation to run and its settings, how to connect to the host, and additional features such as display colours,
soft button definitions and keyboard macros.
A TeemTalk session configuration file can be created using the
TeemTalk Session Wizard as decribed in this section, or when
TeemTalk is running a session by selecting
Save Session As on the
File menu.
Getting Started

2 In the Session Name field, enter a unique name that will identify
this session configuration for future selection.
The name specified here will be used as the filename for the .tts
session configuration file that will be created, and it will also
appear in the title bar of the TeemTalk window in brackets when
the session is being run.
3 Select the Transport method then click the Configure button to
specify settings.
SSH2 The SSH2 (Secure Shell) client/server protocol is
used to encrypt and transmit data securely over a
network, with authentication provided by a

mation box is correct. If not, click the <Back button to edit.
10 Click OK to create the session configuration file (with the file-
name extension .tts) and exit the Wizard.
Getting Started
12 Running a Session Configuration
Running a Session Configuration
You can run a TeemTalk session configuration using one of the
following methods.
Desktop Icon If a desktop icon was created for the session configuration, double-
clicking on it will automatically run TeemTalk and cause it to load
the settings contained in the session configuration file.
TeemTalk Menu To run a session configuration file while TeemTalk is running, run
TeemTalk either by double-clicking on the
TeemTalk icon displayed
on the desktop, or from the
Start menu by selecting All Programs >
HP > HP TeemTalk Terminal Emulator > TeemTalk, then display the
File menu and select Open Session. Select the name of the required
.tts session file then click
Open.
Command Line
Option
The command line for running the TeemTalk executable file can
include a command to load the settings stored in a specified session
configuration file. The format of the command is as follows:
+lsf"sessionfile.tts"
The filename must include the extension .tts and must be enclosed
within double-quote characters. The command must be preceded by
a space to separate it from the name of the TeemTalk executable file
or other command line options.
For example, to run TeemTalk and load the settings stored in the
session configuration file mysettings.tts, you would enter the
following on the command line:
teemtalk.exe +lsf"mysettings.tts"
Refer to the chapter “Command Line Options” on page 275 for more
information on command line options.

Configuration Bar
The configuration bar provides a quick way of creating or configuring a session by clicking buttons or selecting from drop-down list
boxes. Refer to the section “The Configuration Bar” on page 15 for
more details.
Emulation Workspace
The emulation workspace is the TeemTalk window area providing
the terminal emulation display. You can create multiple emulation
workspaces in the TeemTalk window on separate tabs by selecting
New Tab in the File menu. If you require a new TeemTalk window
rather than an emulation workspace tab, select
New Window in the
File menu.
Emulation Status Line
Some terminal emulations use the last line of the display as a status
line to indicate the status of various operations.
Status Bar
The status bar shows the status of various TeemTalk operations. The
information displayed depends on the terminal emulation currently
running. Refer to the section “The Status Bar” on page 16 for more
details.
Soft Buttons
A set of programmable soft buttons is displayed at the bottom of the
TeemTalk window by default. The soft buttons can be detached in a
separate window.
There are four soft button levels. Each level consists of twelve buttons providing a combined total of 48 programmable buttons. You
can display all four levels at the same time if required. All levels are
accessible even if not all are displayed, levels stored off-screen can
be 'scrolled' into view by clicking the
Level # button.
Refer to the chapter “Soft Buttons” on page 53 for more details.
