Notes

• Character application objects support VT420, Wyse 60 or SCO Console character applications. The Emulation Type attribute determines the type of application.
• Depending on the Emulation Type setting, some of the other attributes will be ignored. In Object Manager, ignored attributes are disabled.
• To use and display the euro character, the terminal session must be capable of displaying 8-bit characters. To ensure this, enter the command stty -istrip. Also, the client device must be capable of entering the euro character.
