Modify the Settings of an Existing Host/Server Application

There are two ways to modify the settings of an existing host/server application configuration. They can be changed while the application is running by modifying its properties, or they can be changed when the application is not running by simply accessing the application’s property sheet.

You can change the properties while the application is running, and the changes will be saved in the FacetWin DT terminal emulator configuration file for that application. Note that some of the connection settings cannot be changed while the connection is in effect. Other settings, such as the window position and size can only be changed while the application is running. Any time you move or re-size the application window, the new position and size is saved in the configuration for the application.

You can also modify the settings of an existing application without actually running the application. Go to the FacetWin Terminal Configurations folder by choosing it in the FacetWin group on the Start Menu:

An Explorer window will display all of the FacetWin DT terminal emulator configurations that you have created. You can right-click on the configuration you want to change and the following menu will be displayed:

Choose the “Properties” item on this menu, and the property sheet for that file will be displayed:

The first tab is the general file tab that the Windows Explorer provides. All the other tabs are the property sheet tabs that you get when you access the property sheet while the emulator is running. You can modify all of the items on the connection tab in this manner, since the connection to the server is not running when you access the property sheet this way. Note that if the application is currently running, you cannot change its properties this way. You must quit the application before bringing up its property sheet by right-clicking on its icon.
