# wc3270 Resources

Resources are used to configure wc3270. Resources are named items with string, integer or Boolean values.

Resource definitions come from the following sources:

- Default values are compiled into wc3270.
- If a session file foo.wc3270 is specified on the command line, its contents are applied. These definitions override resource values defined by compiled-in defaults.
- Command-line options override all other resource definitions. If more than one command-line option sets a resource, the last one is used.

Many resources have their own command-line switches, which are listed below. Those that do not can still be set from the command-line via the -xrm command-line option. For example wc3270.bsdTm can be set by the following command-line option:

         -xrm 'wc3270.bsdTm: true'

Note that -xrm is supported on all of the 3270 emulators, not just on x3270.

## Resource File Syntax

A resource file (session file) has the following syntax.

- Each definition consists of:

          wc3270.resource-name: value

- Comment lines begin with !.
- Line continuation is indicated by a backshash (\) character at the end of a line.
- Multi-line resources, such as keymap definitions, are split with newline characters, e.g.:

          wc3270.keymap.foo: \
            <Key>a: String("bob") \n\
            <Key>b: String("fred") \n\
            <Key>c: String("joe")

## Alphabetical Resource List

Name: wc3270.asciiBoxDraw
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Description:

When true, this causes box-drawing characters (the Unicode 2500 block) to be drawn with ASCII-art characters (+, - and |). This allows a readable representation of these characters on the screen when using fonts that do not include them or have them with the wrong width.

Name: wc3270.autoShortcut
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Command Line: -S , +S
Description:

When true, wc3270 will run in auto-shortcut mode. In auto-shortcut mode, wc3270 automatically creates a desktop shortcut (.lnk file) in %TEMP% that is compatible with its session file, then starts it. This ensures that the console window's screen size, character set, font, etc. will be correct.

Auto-shortcut mode requires the use of a session file; the session file must have been created by the Session Wizard (release 3.3.9 or later) and must not have been modified incorrectly. All desktop shortcuts created by the Session Wizard release 3.3.10 or later include setting autoShortcut to true.

The +S command-line switch turns off auto-shortcut mode. All desktop shortcuts created by the Session Wizard release 3.3.10 or later include this switch.

Auto-shortcut mode does not work on Windows 9x.

Name: wc3270.bellMode
Type: String
Description:

Controls how wc3270 responds to an ALARM WCC or BELL character. The value of beepFlash causes both the Windows console to beep and the wc3270 window to flash; this is the default behavior. The values of beep and flash cause just the beep and just the window flash respectively. The value none causes ALARM WCCs and BELL characters to be ignored.

If this resource is defined, it overrides wc3270.visualBell.

Name: wc3270.bindLimit
Type: Boolean
Default: true
Description:

When true, wc3270 will restrict its screen dimensions to those specified in the BIND image sent by the host. If false, it will not.

Name: wc3270.blankFill
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Command Line: -set blankFill , -clear blankFill
Description:

When true, in 3270 mode wc3270 will automatically convert trailing blanks in a field to NULLs in order to insert a character, and will automatically convert leading NULLs to blanks so that input data is not squeezed to the left. This works around some of the quirkier behavior of real 3270 terminals.

Name: wc3270.bsdTm
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Description:

Defines wc3270's response to the TELNET DO TIMING MARK option. When set to false, wc3270 will respond to DO TIMING MARK with WONT TIMING MARK, which is consistent with most modern TELNET clients. When true, wc3270 will respond with WILL TIMING MARK, which is consistent with the old BSD telnet command and with previous versions of wc3270. In either case, wc3270 will never respond to a DONT TIMING MARK option.

Name: wc3270.certFile
Type: String
Command Line: -certfile
Description:

Gives the name of a certificate file, used by the OpenSSL library.

Name: wc3270.charset
Type: String
Default: bracket
Command Line: -charset
Description:

This defines the host EBCDIC character set, that is, what glyph (image) is displayed for each EBCDIC code sent by the host, and what EBCDIC code is sent to the host for each character typed on the keyboard. This is more correctly referred to as the host code page.

To display the character sets supported by wc3270, use the -v command-line option.

Name: wc3270.color8
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Description:

If true, wc3270 will respond to a Query(Color) with a list of 8 supported colors. If false, it will send a list of 16 colors. The 8-color setting is required for some hosts which abort a session if 16 colors are reported.

Name: wc3270.composeMap
Type: String
Default: latin1
Description:

Gives the name of the map used to define the pairs of characters that form composite characters with the Compose key. The definition of compose map foo is the resource wc3270.composeMap.foo.

Name: wc3270.composeMap.foo
Type: String
Description:

An individual compose map definition. Each line in the resource is of the form:

             keysym1 + keysym2 = keysym3

meaning "when the Compose key is pressed, followed by keysym1 and keysym2 (in either order), interpret it as keysym3." The definitions are case-sensitive.

Name: wc3270.confDir
Type: String
Default: .
Description:

Defines the wc3270 configuration directory, where wc3270 will search for the ibm_hosts file by default. (See wc3270.hostsFile.)

The default is to search the directory where wc3270 was started, which usually its installation directory.

Name: wc3270.consoleColorForHostColor0
Name: wc3270.consoleColorForHostColorNeutralBlack
Name: wc3270.consoleColorForHostColor1
Name: wc3270.consoleColorForHostColorBlue

Name: wc3270.consoleColorForHostColor14
Name: wc3270.consoleColorForHostColorPaleTurquoise
Name: wc3270.consoleColorForHostColor15
Name: wc3270.consoleColorForHostColorGrey
Name: wc3270.consoleColorForHostColor16
Name: wc3270.consoleColorForHostColorWhite
Type: Integer
Description:

Defines what console color to use to render a particular host color. Host colors can be specified by name or number. That is, to define the console color to use when the host specifies green, which is host color 4, either the resource wc3270.consoleColorForHostColorGreen or the resource wc3270.consoleColorForHostColor4 can be used.

The default definitions are as follows.

Host Color Index | Host Color Name | Default Console Color
--- | --- | ---
0 | NeutralBlack | 0
1 | Blue | 9
2 | Red | 12
3 | Pink | 13
4 | Green | 10
5 | Turquoise | 11
6 | Yellow | 14
7 | NeutralWhite | 15
8 | Black | 0
9 | DeepBlue | 1
10 | Orange | 12
11 | Purple | 5
12 | PaleGreen | 2
13 | PaleTurquoise | 3
14 | Grey | 7
15 | White | 15

Note that "neutral black" means black on a display device and white on a printing device, and "neutral white" means white on a display device and black on a printing device.

The value of the resource is a console color index (0 through 15). Console colors are defined as follows:

Index | Sample
--- | ---
0 | [sample]
1 | [sample]
2 | [sample]
3 | [sample]
4 | [sample]
5 | [sample]
6 | [sample]
7 | [sample]
8 | [sample]
9 | [sample]
10 | [sample]
11 | [sample]
12 | [sample]
13 | [sample]
14 | [sample]
15 | [sample]

The color samples above are the default values used by the wc3270 Session Wizard when it creates a desktop shortcut. The RGB values for any of the console colors can be changed later using the Colors tab on the Properties dialog of the shortcut.

In NVT mode, wc3270 maps the ANSI-standard colors 0 through 7 to host colors, and from host colors to console colors. The mapping from ANSI colors to host colors cannot be changed, but the mapping from host colors to console colors can be with wc3270.consoleColorForHostColor* resources. The mappings and defaults are as follows:

NVT ANSI Color | Mapped Host Color (not configurable) | Default Console Color
--- | --- | ---
0 (black) | 0 (Black) | 0
1 (red) | 2 (Red) | 12
2 (green) | 4 (Green) | 10
3 (yellow) | 6 (Yellow) | 14
4 (blue) | 1 (Blue) | 9
5 (magenta) | 3 (Pink) | 13
6 (turquoise) | 6 (Turquoise) | 14
7 (white) | 7 (NeutralWhite) | 15

For example, to change the display from white-on-black to black-on-white, define the following resources:

         wc3270.consoleColorForHostColorNeutralBlack: 15
         wc3270.consoleColorForHostColorNeutralWhite: 0

Name: wc3270.cursorPos
Type: Boolean
Default: true
Command Line: -set cursorPos , -clear cursorPos
Description:

When true, causes wc3270 to display the cursor location in the OIA (the status line).

Name: wc3270.dbcsCgcsgid
Type: String
Description:

Overrides the compiled-in value of the CGCSGID for the current host character set, which will be reported to the host in response to a Query(Character Sets). The value is an integer, which can be prefixed with '0x' to be in hexadecimal. The upper 16 bits are the GCSGID (character set) and the lower 16 bits are the CPGID (code page). This value applies only to the double-byte (DBCS) character set. Use wc3270.sbcsCgcsgid for the single-byte (SBCS) character set.

Name: wc3270.dftBufferSize
Type: Integer
Default: 4096
Description:

Specifies the default buffer size for DFT IND$FILE file transfers. This value can be overridden in the File Transfer dialog and by a parameter to the Transfer action.

Name: wc3270.dsTrace
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Command Line: -trace , -set dsTrace , -clear dsTrace
Description:

When true, wc3270 writes a hexadecimal representation of all network traffic (and its interpretation) into a file, which defaults to x3trc.process-id.txt in the wc3270 Application Data directory. It also pops up a window to watch the file as it is created, with the pathname of the file as the window title. The directory prefix is defined by wc3270.traceDir. If wc3270.traceFile is defined, it gives the entire pathname and wc3270.traceDir is ignored.

Name: wc3270.eof
Type: String
Default: ^D
Description:

This setting is used only in NVT mode, and is similar in function to the stty parameter of the same name.

When connected in line-at-a-time mode (when wc3270 gathers a line of input before forwarding it to the host), entering this character at the keyboard causes the current line of input to be forwarded to the host without a trailing CR/LF sequence.

Name: wc3270.erase
Type: String
Default: ^?
Description:

This setting is used only in NVT mode, and is similar in function to the stty parameter of the same name.

When connected in line-at-a-time mode (wc3270 gathers a line of input before forwarding it ot the host), entering this character at the keyboard will cause wc3270 to discard the last character on the input line.

When connected in character-at-a-time mode (wc3270 sends each keystroke to the host as it is entered), this is the character that will be sent to the host by the Erase action.

Name: wc3270.eventTrace
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Command Line: -set eventTrace , -clear eventTrace
Description:

When true, wc3270 traces information about keyboard and mouse events into a file. The default file name is x3trc.process-id.txt in the wc3270 Application Data directory. It also pops up a window to watch the file as it is created, with the pathname of the file as the window title. The directory prefix is defined by wc3270.traceDir. If wc3270.traceFile is defined, it gives the entire pathname and wc3270.traceDir is ignored.

Name: wc3270.extended
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Command Line: -extended
Description:

Deprecated resource -- replaced by wc3270.model syntax

Indicates support for the 3270 Extended Data Stream.

Name: wc3270.hostColorForDefault
Name: wc3270.hostColorForIntensified
Name: wc3270.hostColorForProtected
Name: wc3270.hostColorForProtectedIntensified
Type: String
Description:

Defines the default color to use to render text with a particular attribute, when the host does not specify a particular color.

The value of the resource is a host color name or color index. See wc3270.consoleColorForHostColor0 for the definitions of host colors.

The default values are:

wc3270 Resource | Default Host Color
--- | ---
hostColorForDefault | Green
hostColorForIntensified | Red
hostColorForProtected | Blue
hostColorForProtectedIntensified | NeutralWhite

Name: wc3270.hostname
Type: String
Description:

Gives the name of the host to connect to. The name can include the usual options (prefixes to specify special connection options, LU names, and port). A hostname specified on the command line takes precedence over wc3270.hostName.

The most common use of wc3270.hostName is in session files, where a file is used to pass all of the options to establish a wc3270 session.

Name: wc3270.hostsFile
Type: String
Default: ibm_hosts
Description:

The pathname of a file containing hostname aliases. The file can also be used to define a set of actions to perform when connecting to a host.

The format of the file is explained on the ibm_hosts manual page.

Name: wc3270.icrnl
Type: Boolean
Default: true
Description:

This setting is used only in NVT mode, and is similar in function to the stty parameter of the same name. It controls whether input carriage returns are mapped to newlines.

Name: wc3270.idleCommand
Type: String
Description:

When wc3270.idleCommand is defined, it specifies a command to execute after a period of keyboard inactivity (no AID keys pressed). The wc3270.idleCommand can be an arbitrary sequence of wc3270 actions, but it should include an action which generates an AID (Enter, Clear, PF or PA). wc3270.idleCommandEnabled must be true in order for the wc3270.idleCommand to take effect. (This is so an idle command can be defined, but needs to be enabled explicitly at some point after login.) wc3270.idleTimeout specifies the inactivity interval.

Name: wc3270.idleCommandEnabled
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Description:

Controls whether wc3270.idleCommand has effect as soon as a host session is established. (This is so an idle command can be defined, but needs to be explicitly enabled at some point after login.)

Name: wc3270.idleTimeout
Type: String
Default: ~7m
Description:

The timeout value for wc3270.idleCommand. If the value ends in h, it specifies hours; if it ends in m it specifies minutes; if it ends in s or does not have an alphanumeric suffix, it specifies seconds.

If the value begins with a tilde ~, the time will be randomly varied +/-10% from the value specified.

Name: wc3270.inlcr
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Description:

This setting is used only in NVT mode, and is similar in function to the stty parameter of the same name. It controls whether input newlines are mapped to carriage returns.

Name: wc3270.intr
Type: String
Default: ^C
Description:

This setting is used only in NVT mode, and is similar in function to the stty parameter of the same name. When this character is typed on the keyboard, the TELNET IP (Interrupt Process) sequence is sent to the host.

Name: wc3270.keymap
Type: String
Command Line: -keymap
Description:

The name of the keyboard map to use. It can be a single keymap name or a comma-separated list of keymaps, which will be applied in order.

Each keymap can optionally be defined in three separate parts: a common keymap, which is applied at all times, an NVT-mode keymap, which is applied only in NVT mode, and a 3270-mode keymap, which is only applied in 3270 mode. The NVT-mode keymap has the same name as the common keymap, with the suffix .nvt appended. The 3270-mode keymap has the suffix .3270 appended. Thus specifying a wc3270.keymap value of foo implies the use of three different keymaps (if found): foo, foo.nvt and foo.3270.

wc3270.keymap is only the name; the actual keymap for name foo can be defined either by the resource wc3270.keymap.foo, or by a keymap file. Keymap files are located in the wc3270 Application Data directory, and have the suffix .wc3270km.

Name: wc3270.keymap.foo
Type: String
Description:

The definition of keymap foo. Please refer to the How To Create a Custom Keymap document for a full description of the syntax.

Name: wc3270.kill
Type: String
Default: ^U
Description:

This setting is used only in NVT mode, and is similar in function to the stty parameter of the same name.

When connected in line-at-a-time mode (when wc3270 gathers a line of input before forwarding it to the host), entering this character at the keyboard causes the current input line to be erased.

When connected in character-at-a-time mode (when wc3270 sends each keystroke to the host), this is the ASCII character that is sent to the host by the DeleteField action.

Name: wc3270.lineWrap
Type: Boolean
Default: true
Command Line: -set lineWrap , -clear lineWrap
Description:

This setting is used only in NVT mode. When true, wc3270 will automatically insert a CR/LF sequence when output reaches the end of a line. When false, output will pile up at the end of each line until the host sends a CR/LF sequence.

Name: wc3270.loginMacro
Type: String
Description:

Defines a sequence of commands to run as soon as a host connection is established. Usually these would be commands used to navigate through login screens, such String, Tab and Enter.

If a wc3270.hostsFile is in use and a matching entry is found, the login macro from that entry will be used in preference to the wc3270.loginMacro.

Name: wc3270.lnext
Type: String
Default: ^V
Description:

This setting is used only in NVT mode, and is similar in function to the stty parameter of the same name.

When connected in line-at-a-time mode (when wc3270 gathers a line of input before forwarding it to the host), entering this character at the keyboard removes any special meaning from the next character entered.

Name: wc3270.localCp
Type: Integer
Description:

Forces wc3270 to use the specified codepage in place of the system ANSI codepage. This codepage is used when interpreting keymap files and when generating trace files.

Name: wc3270.m3279
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Command Line: -color
Description:

Deprecated resource -- replaced by wc3270.model syntax

Indicates support for color (a 3279 terminal).

Name: wc3270.marginedPaste
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Command Line: -set marginedPaste , -clear marginedPaste
Description:

When true, wc3270 will use the current cursor position as a left margin for pasted data: no pasted data will be input into an area to the left of the current cursor positon.

Name: wc3270.model
Type: String
Default: 3279-4-E
Command Line: -model
Description:

The terminal model that wc3270 is emulating. The model is in three parts, separated by dashes; each part is optional.

- 3278 or 3279
  3278 specifies a monochrome (green) 3270 display.
  3279 specifies a color 3270 display.
- 2, 3, 4 or 5 The model number, which determines the size of the screen. Model 2 has 24 rows and 80 columns. Model 3 has 32 rows and 80 columns. Model 4 has 43 rows and 80 columns. Model 5 has 27 rows and 132 columns. The default is the largest model that will fit on the console or terminal emulator window where wc3270 is running. Displaying the OIA (status line) requires one more row than what is listed above.
- E An optional suffix which indicates support for the 3270 Extended Data Stream (color, extended attributes, Query Reply). 3279 implies E.

Name: wc3270.monoCase
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Command Line: -set monoCase , -clear monoCase
Description:

When true, causes wc3270 to run in uppercase-only mode.

Name: wc3270.noPrompt
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Description:

If true, the interactive wc3270> prompt will be disabled. In particular, this means that when wc3270 is not connected to a host, a keymap or an external script is the only way to start a new host connection.

Name: wc3270.numericLock
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Description:

When true, causes wc3270 to lock the keyboard when non-numeric data is entered into fields with the Numeric attribute.

Name: wc3270.onlcr
Type: Boolean
Default: true
Description:

Used only in NVT line-at-a-time mode; similar to the stty parameter of the same name. It controls whether output newlines are mapped to CR/LF sequences.

Name: wc3270.oerrLock
Type: Boolean
Default: true
Description:

If true, operator errors (typing into protected fields, insert overflow, etc.) will cause the keyboard to lock with an error message in the OIA (status line). If false, these errors will simply cause the terminal bell will ring, without any keyboard lock or message.

Name: wc3270.once
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Command Line: -once
Description:

When true, wc3270 will exit as soon as a host disconnects. The default is false if no hostname is specified on the command line or in a session file, true otherwise.

Name: wc3270.oversize
Type: String
Command Line: -oversize
Description:

Sets the screen dimensions to be larger than the default for the chosen model. Its value is a string in the format colsxrows. It can also be the string auto, which will cause wc3270 to use the entire screen area of the console window it is running in. It is used only if the wc3270.model includes the "-E" (extended data stream) suffix, and only if the specified dimensions are larger than the model number defaults. Also, only hosts that support the Query Reply structured field will function properly with wc3270 in this mode.

Name: wc3270.port
Type: String
Default: telnet
Command Line: -port
Description:

The name of the default TCP port for wc3270 to connect to. This can be either a symbolic name from /etc/services, or an integer.

Name: wc3270.proxy
Type: String
Command Line: -proxy
Description:

Defines a proxy server that wc3270 will use to connect to hosts. The value is of the form type:server[:port], where options for type are described on the wc3270 manual page.

Name: wc3270.printerLu
Type: String
Command Line: -printerlu
Description:

If a value is set, wc3270 will automatically start a wpr3287 printer session when a host connection is established. If the value is ".", the wpr3287 session will be associated with the interactive terminal session (this requires that the host supports TN3270E). Otherwise, the value is taken as the LU name to associate with the printer session.

Name: wc3270.printer.assocCommandLine
Type: String
Default: wpr3287.exe -assoc %L% -command %R% %P% %O% %I% %H%
Description:

The shell command to use to start a printer session, when associated with the current TN3270E session LU (when wc3270.printerLU is "."). Within the string, the following substitutions are made:

- %H% is replaced with the current host name
- %I% is replaced with an option to pass wc3270.printer.codepage
- %L% is replaced with the current session's LU
- %O% is replaced with the value of wc3270.printer.options
- %P% is replaced with the current session's proxy option (wc3270.proxy)
- %R% is replaced with an option to pass the current character set

Name: wc3270.printer.codepage
Type: Integer
Description:

The codepage used by the printer associated with wpr3287 printer sessions. The default is to use the system's ANSI codepage.

Name: wc3270.printer.luCommandLine
Type: String
Default: wpr3287.exe %R% %P% %O% %I% %L%@%H%
Description:

The shell command to use to start a printer session, when associated with a specific LU. Within the string, the following substitutions are made:

- %H% is replaced with the current host name
- %I% is replaced with an option to pass wc3270.printer.codepage
- %L% is replaced with the LU value entered into the dialog box
- %O% is replaced with the value of wc3270.printer.options
- %P% is replaced with current session's proxy option (wc3270.proxy)
- %R% is replaced with an option to pass the current character set

Name: wc3270.printer.name
Type: String
Description:

Defines the name of the printer used for wpr3287 sessions and by the PrintText action. The default is to use the system's default printer.

Name: wc3270.printer.options
Type: String
Description:

Defines extra parameters to substutute for the %O% token in the printer command line.

Name: wc3270.printTextFont
Type: String
Default: Courier New
Description:

The font used by the PrintText action.

Name: wc3270.printTextSize
Type: Integer
Default: 8
Description:

The font size used by the PrintText action.

Name: wc3270.qrBgColor
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Description:

Name: wc3270.quit
Type: String
Default: ^\
Description:

This setting is used only in NVT mode, and is similar in function to the stty parameter of the same name. When connected in line-at-a-time mode (when wc3270 gathers a line of input before forwarding it to the host), entering this character at the keyboard causes the TELNET BREAK sequence to be sent to the host.

Name: wc3270.reconnect
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Description:

When true, wc3270 will automatically reconnect to a host after it disconnects.

Name: wc3270.rprnt
Type: String
Default: ^R
Description:

This setting is used only in NVT mode, and is similar in function to the stty parameter of the same name. When connected in line-at-a-time mode (when wc3270 gathers a line of input before forwarding it to the host), entering this character at the keyboard causes the current input line to be redisplayed.

Name: wc3270.sbcsCgcsgid
Type: String
Description:

Overrides the compiled-in value of the CGCSGID for the current host character set. The value is an integer, which can be prefixed with '0x' to be in hexadecimal. The upper 16 bits are the GCSGID (character set) and the lower 16 bits are the CPGID (code page). This value applies only to the single-byte (SBCS) character set. Use wc3270.dbcsCgcsgid for the double-byte (DBCS) character set.

Name: wc3270.screenTrace
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Command Line: -set screenTrace , -clear screenTrace
Description:

When true, wc3270 will save an ASCII version of the screen image in a file every time it changes. The file name defaults to x3scr.pid.txt in the wc3270 Application Data directory. The directory prefix is defined by wc3270.traceDir. If wc3270.screenTraceFile is defined, it defines the file name and wc3270.traceDir is ignored. file name.

Name: wc3270.screenTraceFile
Type: String
Description:

If defined, gives the name of the file that screen traces will be written into.

Name: wc3270.scriptPort
Type: Integer
Command Line: -scriptport
Description:

If defined, wc3270 will accept script connections on the specified local TCP port. The rules for the commands passed over these connections are documented in the x3270-script manual page.

Name: wc3270.suppressActions
Type: String
Description:

A list of whitespace-separated action names, with or without parentheses, which are to be ignored. The actions will be completely inaccessible, whether by keymaps, scripts, macros or the Execute an Action menu option. This resource is intended to be used as a security precaution for users who can define their own keymaps, but who do not have access to resource definitions or command-line options.

Name: wc3270.termName
Type: String
Command Line: -tn
Description:

An alternate name to be sent in response to the host's TELNET DO OPTION TERMINAL-NAME request. The default is IBM-, followed by the value of wc3270.model.

Name: wc3270.title
Type: String
Command Line: -title
Description:

Sets the title for the wc3270 window, overriding the default of constructing the name from the host that is connected to.

Name: wc3270.traceDir
Type: String
Default: app-data
Description:

Defines the directory that trace files are written into. The default is the wc3270 Application Data directory.

Name: wc3270.traceFile
Type: String
Command Line: -tracefile
Description:

If defined, gives the name of the file that data stream and event traces will be written into. If it begins with ">>", data will be appended to the file.

Name: wc3270.traceFileSize
Type: String
Command Line: -tracefilesize
Description:

If defined, gives a limit on the size of the file that data stream and event traces will be written into. If not defined, or defined as 0, there will be no limit on the size of the file. The value is a number, followed by an optional suffix. If the suffix is K (e.g., 128K), the value will be multiplied by 1024. If the suffix is M, the value will be multiplied by (1024*1024). The size limit enforced at operation boundaries, not per byte, so the actual file may grow slightly larger. When the file size exceeds the limit, the trace file will be renamed with a "-" appended and a new file started.

Name: wc3270.traceMonitor
Type: Boolean
Default: true
Description:

When true, wc3270 will create a window to monitor data stream and event traces. When false, no monitor window will be created.

Name: wc3270.typeahead
Type: Boolean
Default: true
Description:

When true, wc3270 will store keystrokes in a buffer when the keyboard is locked. When false, these keystrokes will be dropped.

Name: wc3270.underscore
Type: Boolean
Default: true
Command Line: -set underscore , -clear underscore
Description:

When true, wc3270 will display fields with the underlined attribute in a special way: blank characters will be translated to underscore (_) characters. This is needed to overcome the fact that Windows consoles are unable to display real underlined text.

Name: wc3270.unlockDelay
Type: Boolean
Default: true
Description:

When wc3270 sends the host an AID (the Enter, Clear, PF or PA actions), it locks the keyboard until the host sends a reply to unlock it. Some hosts unlock the keyboard before they are actually finished processing the command, which can cause scripts to malfunction subtly. To avoid this, wc3270 implements a hack to briefly delay actually unlocking the keyboard. When wc3270.unlockDelay is true, the keyboard unlock will be delayed for wc3270.unlockDelayMs milliseconds. Setting it to false removes this delay, except when executing a macro.

Name: wc3270.unlockDelayMs
Type: Integer
Default: 350
Description:

Overrides the default value for the unlock delay (the delay between the host unlocking the keyboard and wc3270 actually performing the unlock). The value is in milliseconds; use 0 to turn off the delay completely, including for macros.

Name: wc3270.visualBell
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Description:

Deprecated resource -- replaced by wc3270.bellMode

When true, wc3270 will just flash the screen in response to an ALARM WCC or BELL character, rather than beeping the Windows console. When false, wc3270 will beep the console and flash the screen.

Note that this resource is overridden by wc3270.bellMode. wc3270.bellMode is the preferred method of controlling the console bell behavior.

Name: wc3270.werase
Type: String
Default: ^W
Description:

This setting is used only in NVT mode, and is similar in function to the stty parameter of the same name. When connected in line-at-a-time mode (when wc3270 gathers a line of input before forwarding it to the host), entering this character at the keyboard erases the last word of input.

When connected in character-at-a-time mode (when wc3270 sends each keystroke to the host), this is the ASCII character that is sent to the host by the DeleteWord action.
