2 Chapter 1 Introduction
2 Getting Started
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 colors, soft button
definitions and keyboard macros.
A TeemTalk session configuration file can be created using the TeemTalk Session Wizard as described
in this section, or when TeemTalk is running a session by selecting Save Session As on the File

SSL Transport
The SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol enables authenticated and encrypted communication between
clients and servers.
Before anyone can connect to a server the system administrator must make available a copy of the root
certificate used to sign the server's identity certificate and the number of the telnet port the server is
listening on (the default for secure telnet is 992).
Additionally the system administrator may issue each user or terminal with their own password
protected client certificate.
Making a Host Connection
A host connection using the SSL protocol is made using the SSL Settings dialog which can be
displayed using one of the following three methods:
Using the Session Wizard
In Step 1 set Transport to SSL then click Configure.
◦
Using the TeemTalk Window
On the Session menu, select Transport > SSL then select Configure Transport....
◦
On the configuration bar, select SSL in the Transport list box then click Configure
◦
Transport.
26 Chapter 3 Host Connection
SSL Transport
27
The basic procedure for making an SSL connection is as follows:
1. Add Server Root Certificate.
If you have been given a certificate to verify the server to which you are connecting, you will need
to add this to the TeemTalk list of root certificates.
To do this, click Add below the Root Certificates list and then use the file chooser to locate,
select and open the file containing the certificate. This will add the certificate name to the list.
Alternatively, if you have configured a CA certificate text database locally, you can select the
option for Set database location and specify the folder containing the CA certificate database
below this option.
If you do not need to verify the server, then select the option for Do not verify host's
certificate.
2. Select Client Certificate
If the server you are going to connect to requires you to have a client certificate, choose the
relevant certificate from the Client Certificate drop down list.
If you have not already installed your client certificate, click Add under the Client Certificate
drop down list, and choose the file containing the certificate. This will import the certificate and
add its name to the list.
You may optionally enter your password for the client certificate. If you check Save Password,
the password will be encrypted and stored along with the certificate itself.
NOTE: Saving the password is a security risk as anyone who can access the local system will be
able to connect to the host.
3. Specify the Encoding format for the certificates by selecting either Pem (ASCII Text file Base64
encoded) or Der (binary file).
4. Specify the host name or IP address in the IP Address field.
5. Specify the host's SSL Port number (the default is 992).
6. Click Connect.
7. Login as usual when the telnet login prompt appears.
28 Chapter 3 Host Connection
Error Messages
Connection Failed SSL to host : port
The most likely cause of this error is that the service is not running on the server, or the port
number is incorrect.
This message can also be returned if the server refuses the SSL connection. The most likely causes
are that the server is expecting a client certificate but none has been specified or the client
certificate specified is invalid for some reason. This error may also be seen if the server is running
an incompatible version of SSL. TeemTalk currently supports SSL2, SSL3 and TLS.
No Root Certificate assigned
This is caused when no Root Certificate or no CACertificate Databse was specified in the
SSL Settings dialog for the connection. If no root certificate is available, the server certificate
check can be bypassed by selecting the Do not verify host's certificate option.
The issuer certificate of a locally looked u certificate could not be found. / No
certificates could be verified.
The server's identity certificate was not signed by any of the root certificates installed in TeemTalk.
TeemTalk will not connect to a host it cannot verify.
The host name did not match any of the valid hosts for this certificate
The common name is part of the server's certificate. SSL assumes this will match the host name
given in the IP Address box in the SSL Settings dialog. If they do not match TeemTalk will not
connect to the host.
Notes About Certificates
The SSL Protocol uses three types of certificates:
Server certificates. These are always sent by the server to the client to validate the server's
●
identity. SSL handles them internally and they are never saved on the client.
Client certificates. These are sent by the client, only if the server requests them, and validate the
●
client's identity. The client will need to store these locally. Usually a client will only have one
certificate to validate it on a particular server but different servers may require different client
certificates.
CA (Certificate Authority) or root certificates. These are used to authenticate the other two
●
types. The client will need to store these locally.
Storage of Certificates
Unlike previous versions of TeemTalk, certificates are no longer imported and stored in the local system
registry. TeemTalk now pulls the certificate values as needed from their original container file. If the
certificate file is moved or deleted, the SSL connection will fail until the certificate information is
corrected in the SSL Settings dialog.
SSL Transport
29
Serial Transport
A serial host connection is made using the Serial Settings dialog which can be displayed using one
of the following three methods:
Using the Session Wizard
In Step 1 set Transport to Serial then click the Configure button.

Compose Character Sequences
Compose character sequences can be used to generate codes for characters not shown on your
keyboard. The characters that can be composed depend on whether the terminal emulation is in
National or Multinational character set mode. When the terminal emulation is in National character set
mode, only characters found in the character set that corresponds to the selected keyboard nationality
36 Chapter 4 Keyboard Configuration
can be composed. When the terminal emulation is in Multinational character set mode, characters from
all national keyboard layouts can be composed.
If a character is a diacritical symbol and this symbol does not appear on the keyboard, an equivalent
character can be used in some cases. The diacritical symbols and the possible substitutes are shown
below. There are no equivalents for the circumflex accent and tilde mark.
Diacritical Mark Equivalent Character
´ Acute accent ' Apostrophe
¨ Umlaut " Double quote
` Grave accent ' Single quote
° Ring mark * Asterisk or degree sign
To compose a character, first find the character you wish to compose in the left hand column of the
following tables. The two characters shown in the right hand column are the keys that are used to
create it. Several alternatives may be given for generating the same character. A compose sequence is
initiated by pressing the keys Alt + C together, followed by the key bearing the first character then the
key bearing the second character.
NOTE: The compose character sequence can also be initiated by pressing a key defined with the
COMPOSE virtual key name.
A compose character sequence may be abandoned before completion by pressing the Delete key.
Pressing Alt + C (or the key defined with the COMPOSE virtual key name) again before completing a
compose character sequence will cause it to be abandoned and a second sequence to be started. An
invalid compose character sequence will cause the bell to sound.
The following tables use several conventions:
The keys bearing the characters used to compose a special character may be pressed in any
●
order unless (in order) is specified.
(DEC Multinat.) indicates that the character can only be composed if the terminal emulation is in
●
Multinational mode and the Character Set option is set to Multinational.
(Latin-1) indicates that the character can only be composed if the terminal emulation is in
●
Multinational mode and the Character Set option is set to ISO Latin-1.
If a nationality is specified with the character description, for example (Dutch), then the character
●
can only be composed when the terminal emulation is in National mode and the system is
configured for the relevant language.

6 Hotspots
This chapter describes the hotspot facility and how to use the Hotspot Editor to define hotspots.
Introduction
A hotspot facility is provided which enables you to invoke a function with a mouse click on a keyword
displayed in the emulation workspace. For example, an application may display information relating to
keys you can press to perform a particular function. Instead of pressing the key on the keyboard, you
could invoke the function by clicking on the key name on the display using the mouse button or key +
mouse button combination which was assigned to the Action Hostspot function.
Hotspots are supported in all terminal emulation modes. A set of default keywords is provided for each
mode. These keywords relate to key functions specific to the emulation. For example, in VT500 mode
you can click on the word Help displayed on the screen and the emulator will execute the function
associated with the Help key.
Using Hotspots
In order to use hotspots, you must first assign the Action Hotspot function to a mouse button or key +
mouse button combination in the Mouse Action Settings dialog (refer to the chapter
Functions on page 42 for details).
You can also identify hotspots that are currently present in display memory by assigning the Show
Hotspots function to any mouse button or key + mouse button combination in the Mouse Action
Settings dialog. When the assigned mouse button or key + mouse button combination is clicked, all
color attributes will be temporarily removed from the display and the hotspot's text color will be
changed to red. Releasing the mouse button or key + mouse button combination will return the display
to its original state.
The Hotspot Editor
The Hotspot Editor enables you to customize the hotspots available for the current TeemTalk session.
To display the Hotspot Editor, select Hotspots... from the File menu.
Mouse
46 Chapter 6 Hotspots
Defining a Hotspot
At the top of the Hotspots Settings dialog is an editable text box containing the hotspot details. The
details are divided into two sections, the [Separators] and the [Definitions,emulation], where
emulation is the current selected emulation mode.
The Separators section specifies the displayed characters which delimit a hotspot definition.
NOTE: Delimiter characters include SPACE and NULL as well as the characters shown.
The start and end delimiter characters do not have to be the same character. Delimiters are necessary
to prevent hotspots from occurring within words that happen to contain the same sequence of
characters. For example, if you have a hotspot defined for the keyword end, the separators would
prevent a hotspot from appearing in the word append.
The Definitions section lists the hotspot definitions. Each hotspot definition appears one per line in the
form Keyword=Action, where Keyword is the display text that will form the hotspot, and Action is the
function that will be performed when the hotspot is clicked with the mouse button or key + mouse button
combination defined as Action Hotspot. The action for the hotspot definition can contain a single key
function (virtual key name). Please refer to
the selected emulation mode.
Saving the Hotspots
Virtual Key Names on page 281 for a list of valid keys for
Hotspot definitions are saved with your sessions by selecting Save Session or Save Session As
from the File menu. The hotspot definitions are stored in the session file along with other session
details.
Using Hotspots
47
Exporting Hotspots
If you wish to use your hotspot definitions in another session or just want a backup of your hotspot
definitions, you can export the current hotspot definitions by clicking Export in the Hotspot Editor. A
standard Windows Save As dialog will assist you in specifying the path and file into which you wish to
save the definitions. TeemTalk will save the definitions in XML format if the file name ends with
the .xml extension; otherwise the hotspot definitions will be exported in plain text format. When
providing the file name, you must specify the extension. Enter the file name and click Save.
Importing Hotspots
You can import hotspot definitions from previous exported definitions or directly from another TeemTalk
session file by clicking Import in the Hotspot Editor. Use the file browser to locate and select the file
containing the hotspot definitions you want imported and then click Open.
NOTE: Only definitions that match the currently selected emulation will be imported and the import
will replace all current definitions.

7 Soft Buttons
This chapter describes how to use the soft buttons.
Introduction
A set of soft buttons are provided which can be programmed to perform a wide variety of functions
when clicked. By default they are displayed at the bottom of the TeemTalk 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.
The button below the Level # button on each level cannot be programmed, but it has two uses. It can
be used to scroll through the available levels in reverse order, and you can specify text to be displayed
on it as a label describing the buttons on that level.
You can detach the soft buttons so that they are displayed in a separate window either by clicking the
Restore Down button above the top-right soft button, or by unchecking the Attached to the window
option in the Soft Button Settings dialog.
To re-attach the soft buttons to the TeemTalk window, either double-click on the title bar of the Soft
Buttons window, or select the Attached to the window option in the Soft Button Settings
dialog.
You can remove the soft buttons from the display either by selecting Windows > Soft Buttons from
the View menu so that it is unchecked, or in the Soft Button Settings dialog by setting the Visible
Levels option to 0.
To re-display the soft buttons, either select Windows > Soft Buttons from the View menu so that it
is checked, or in the Soft Button Settings dialog, set the Visible Levels option to any number
other than 0.
Defining Soft Button Functions

on the soft button. An asterisk in the Lcl column indicates that the function will be actioned locally. The
Macro column displays the function definition.
The Emulation Keys list box enables you to select from a list of standard key functions specific to the
currently selected terminal emulation. The information in brackets in the right column indicates the
default mapping of the key function by TeemTalk. For example:
WY_INSLINE (S+C+VK_INSERT)
indicates that the Wyse emulation Insert Line function is mapped to the key combination Shift +
Control + Insert on a standard Enhanced AT keyboard.
The Virtual Keys list box enables you to select from a list of standard key functions available for all
terminal emulations.
50 Chapter 7 Soft Buttons
The procedure for defining a soft button is as follows:
1. In the top-right panel, select the button number (B1 - B12) on the required level (Lvl1 - Lvl4).
Note that selecting one of the Lvl# button levels will enable you to specify a title for that group of
buttons. The title will be displayed on the button immediately below the Level # button, but you
cannot program this button.
2. In the Title box enter the text to be displayed on the button (up to twenty characters).
3. In the Macro box enter the function definition for the button.
The definition can contain key functions and control characters to be actioned as well as normal
text. Refer to the appendix

8 Display Attributes
This chapter describes how to change the colors used in the emulation workspace and specify how text
with attributes is displayed.
Introduction
TeemTalk provides a variety of options for you to customize how the display appears in the emulation
workspace. You can change the color of the screen background and the foreground text. You can
assign different colors to text with specific attributes or attribute combinations, and you can change the
default text attributes.
Text with attributes can be displayed in various ways. For example, characters with the underline
attribute can be displayed as standard (e.g. underlined only), as a particular color only (e.g. green
without the underline), or with both attribute and a specific color (e.g. underlined and green).
This chapter describes how to use the Attributes dialog to specify the display settings you prefer.
The Attributes Dialog
The Attributes dialog can be displayed using one of the following methods:
Using the Session Wizard
Click on the Attributes... button in Step 2.

12 VT Series Emulation
This chapter describes features of the Digital Equipment Corporation VT suite of terminal emulations.
Introduction
The VT Series suite of terminal emulations consists of the following emulations which can be selected
using the Emulation mode option in the VT Series Settings dialog:
AIXTerm
●
Provides compatibility with software designed to drive an X terminal using X Windows.
Ansi BBS
●
This emulation is a derivative of the ANSI device driver ANSI.SYS supplied with all DOS based
PCs and which provides the screen management for the DOS console screen. PC based UNIX
systems and Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) often rely on the ANSI emulation when being accessed
by a PC. In ANSI BBS mode the screen size is adjusted to 25 lines and the preferred character set
is set to ANSI.
AT 386
●
Provides compatibility with software designed to drive the AT&T AT 386 terminal.
ATT4410
●
Provides compatibility with software designed to drive the AT&T Dataspeed 4410 terminal. Refer
to the section
Sco Console
●
This is an emulation of the SCO UNIX box.
VT PCTerm
●
Provides compatibility with software designed for the PC Term mode supported by DEC.
VT52 and VT100
●
These emulations enable you to run applications written for the DEC VT52 and VT100 terminals,
respectively.
VT100+
●
This emulation is an enhanced version of the VT100 emulation that provides additional
functionality such as colors. It is the same as the VT-UTF8 emulation except that it only supports
ASCII characters 0-127 (decimal).
VT+HP220
●
AT&T 4410 Emulation on page 82 for details.
This emulation is based on the VT500 terminal series and includes the HP function keys F1 - F8
(not user programmable). The terminal ID is set to VT220.
Introduction
75
VT510 7-Bit and VT510 8-Bit
●
These emulations enable you to run applications written for the DEC VT320 terminal, the
difference is in their treatment of 8-bit control codes. When VT510 7-Bit is selected, all 8-bit codes
are converted to their 7-bit equivalents, whereas VT510 8- Bit leaves 8-bit codes unchanged. If
you are using VT200 applications, select VT510 7-Bit.
VT-UTF8
●
This emulation is an enhanced version of the VT100 emulation that supports non-English and
drawing characters. It supports localization of the single-byte and double-byte character sets and
all other languages supported by Windows. Additional functionality, such as colours, is also
provided.
Creating a VT Series Emulation Session

Keyboard Mapping
The functions of the computer keyboard are mapped as closely as possible to the terminal being
emulated. The mapping of key functions can be determined by referring to the Emulation Keys list
box in the Key Macro Settings dialog, which is displayed by selecting Key Macros... on the
Tools menu.
The information in brackets in the right column indicates the default mapping of the key function named
in the left column. In the list, S+ indicates the Shift key, C+ indicates the Control key and A+
indicates the Alt key. For example:
VT_F20 (A+VK_F10)
indicates that the F20 function is mapped to the key combination Alt + F10.
The keyboard has operating two modes, Normal or DEC. You can toggle between the two modes by
pressing the keys Alt + Num Lock together. The 9th item on the status bar will display DEC when the
keyboard is in DEC mode.
Special key functions usually found on a DEC VT keyboard can be mapped to any key on your
keyboard using the VT virtual key names listed in the Key Macro Settings dialog.
The illustrations on the following pages show where DEC VT510 keyboard functions are mapped to
keys on a 101/102 key keyboard.

VT510 7-Bit and VT510 8-Bit
◦
These emulations enable you to run applications written for the DEC VT320 terminal, the
difference is in their treatment of 8-bit control codes. When VT510 7-Bit is selected, all 8bit codes are converted to their 7-bit equivalents, whereas VT510 8- Bit leaves 8-bit codes
unchanged. If you are using VT200 applications, select VT510 7-Bit.
VT-UTF8
◦
This emulation is an enhanced version of the VT100 emulation that supports non-English and
drawing characters. It supports localization of the single-byte and double-byte character sets

Setup Options
87
Multinational mode
●
Factory default: Checked
This option will only be available if the system is configured for a language that supports national
replacement character sets.
The setting of this option determines the type of character set used to generate characters. When
unchecked, TeemTalk is in National mode in which a character set specific to the selected
keyboard nationality is used. When checked (default) TeemTalk is in Multinational mode in which
a character set consisting of two tables of characters is used. This enables characters from any
keyboard nationality to be generated.
Lines per screen
●
Factory default: 24
This specifies the number of text rows that can be viewed in the workspace at any one time out of
the total number stored in memory. This can be set to a maximum of 64. Note that the number of
rows stored in memory is specified by the Buffer lines option.
Buffer lines
●
Factory default: 144
This option determines the number of text rows that are stored in memory. This can be set from 0
to 528 rows by default. The Display Rows option specifies the number of memory rows that can
be viewed in the workspace at any one time.
Lines per page
●
Factory default: 24
When TeemTalk is in VT420 mode, the display memory of 144 lines can be divided into several
pages, up to a maximum of six pages of 24 lines each. The setting of this option determines the
number of lines on a page and therefore how many pages are available. Note that the page size
can be larger than the Lines per screen setting, in which case you can scroll the page up or
down in the window by holding down the Ctrl key and pressing the Up or Down Cursor keys.
When TeemTalk is in any mode other than VT420, the page size is the same as the Lines per
screen setting.
Columns per screen
●
Factory default: 80
This option enables you to specify a width of 80 or 132 columns for the workspace. When set to
132, the setting of the Use 80 Column Font option determines whether all 132 columns are
displayed using a narrow font, or only 80 columns at a time using the normal (80 column) font,
with the ability to scroll horizontally to view the remaining columns.
Columns per page
●
Factory default: 80
This option specifies the width of display memory for DEC VT modes, in the range 80 to 132
columns. When the number of Columns per screen is less than the page width specified here,
you can scroll horizontally to view the hidden columns by holding down the Ctrl key and pressing
the Left or Right Cursor keys.
