WebTerm Frequently Asked Questions
Why do some function keys not work as expected in Internet Explorer?
Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.0 and later detects and acts on function keys even when an object, such as WebTerm, has focus. Therefore, when pressing a function key that is supported by IE the browser will act on that function key before WebTerm will see it. The effect is that some function keys will both initiate a browser function as well as being sent to the host that connected to.
For example: Pressing function key F1 will both open IE help and send F1 to the application you are running on the Host computer.
A work around is to map the function keys to non IE supported key. For example map the F1 to the Control + 1 key or use Netscape's browser. Third option is to use ThinTerm. ThinTerm Client enables users of Windows based systems to access WebTerm terminal windows outside a web browser. It is an application that opens ActiveX containers to view and interact with WebTerm sessions that have been saved with the .thn file extension. It provides a resizable terminal window that can be automated using WebTerm macros, and gives users additional control over the WebTerm session from the ThinTerm menu. the key difference between an emulation open in a browser and in a ThinTerm window is in ThinTerm the browser can be closed any timer and continue to work in the terminal Window.
