Windows Mobile and Windows CE
TTWinCE is available for two Microsoft operating systems; Windows Mobile and Windows CE.
Windows Mobile refers the group of operating systems created by Microsoft for mobile phone and smartphone
devices. This includes early iterations such as Windows Mobile 2003 through to the most current version compatible with TTWinCE, 'Windows Mobile 6.5'.
Windows CE, also referred to as Windows Embedded, is the name Microsoft gives to its compact operating
system designed for minimalistic devices and embedded systems. Windows CE supports a number of processors however TTWinCE is only available for the ARM and x86 families.
TTWinCE is available in versions which cater for both of these operating systems and associated devices.
Screenshots in this manual are taken from Windows CE 5 unless otherwise noted. Where functionality differs
on each platform it will be noted.
TTWinCE User Guide : About This Manual
How to use this Manual
The structure of this manual is based on the organization of the TTWinCE menus. For example, Chapter 3
Menus, covers all the options on the program menus, with each submenu option listed under it's parent heading. All the menus are documented in this manner in Part Two - Advanced Operation, with the exception
of the Config menu.
The Config menu is described in Part Three - Configuration. Each chapter in Part Three covers one section of the Config menu.
The information provided in Part Two and Part Three is closely linked to the options available under the
TTWinCE menu. Chapter order mirrors that of the options available under each menu.
The first-time user of TTWinCE will probably find it necessary to read the complete section related to the
operation that they are performing. Users who wish to get started quickly with the basics of TTWinCE may
wish to refer to the TTWinCE QuickStart guide (available from the support section of ttwin.com), or limit
themselves to chapters 1 and 2.
This manual assumes familiarity with the version of Windows CE or Windows Mobility you are using. The
screenshots in this document are taken from Windows CE 5.

Conventions
To assist you to read and understand this guide we have used a number of conventions:
Conventions
TTWinCE is Turbosoft's terminal emulation product for Microsoft's Windows Mobility&reg; and
Windows CE&reg; operating systems.
Windows Mobile&reg; refers to versions of Microsoft Windows Pocket PC&reg; and Windows Mobile&reg;.
Device refers to any hardware device capable of running Windows Mobile&reg; or Windows CE&reg;.
Tile is TTWinCE’s term for a dialog box.
Lower case bold courier typeface indicates things you need to type, such as a:\setup.
Upper case courier typeface indicates a file name or directory name, such as
C:\TTWINCE\TTWINCE.EXE
All keys are shown in upper case courier typeface and bracketed. For example, the Shift key
is shown as [shift]; the Escape key is [ESC]
A sequence of simultaneous key strokes is indicated with an underscore. For example,
[ALT_F8] is the sequence generated when the [ALT] key is held down while [F8] is
pressed.
Tips, warnings and other important pieces of information are displayed on a gray background with an icon as shown below.

Bold typeface indicates menus, menu options, tile titles, tile options, tile fields and buttons.
For example, click on the Colors... button on the Configure IBM 5250 tile then select
Blink.
An underscore in a bolded word such as, File, refers to the File command, which can also
be called using the short cut key sequence [alt_F]. This feature is not available on every
option but a large number of relevant menu locations do offer the short cut key.
Menu sequences are represented in bold with an angle bracket separating each step. For
example File &gt; Save indicates that the File menu must first be selected followed by the
Save option

architectures it is important that you match the specification of your device to the correct installation package
to ensure TTWinCE installs coyrrectly. Refer to your manufacturer and operating system documentation to
obtain this information.
Each TTWinCE installation package is available in three forms.
&gt; The workstation installation version installs on your PC, like most Windows applications, and uses
Microsoft ActiveSync&reg; to deploy to your mobile device.
&gt; The .cab file installation version installs from your mobile device, this method requires some form of
shared storage such as a memory card or network share.
&gt; The .zip file version can be deployed directly from your mobile device.
Installation via ActiveSync:
Make sure your handheld device is connected to your PC. Microsoft ActiveSync&reg; must support the connection. Locate the TTWinCE Workstation install program on your local drive and execute it. Follow the steps
outlined in the TTWinCE workstation installation program.
Microsoft ActiveSync&reg; will install TTWinCE onto your handheld device. The icon to launch TTWinCE will
be located under the Start &gt; Programs menu on your handheld device.
Installation via .cab file:
Locate the TTWinCE .cab file on your handheld device. The location of the .cab file will vary. The .cab
file may be located on a memory card, network share or other location. Execute the TTWinCE .cab file.
If prompted for an installation folder then select the default. The icon to launch TTWinCE will be located
under the Start &gt; Programs menu on your handheld device.
Installation via .zip file:
Extract the contents of the .zip file into a temp directory on your PC or memory card. The temp directory
will contain 2 directories, Windows and Program Files. Copy these directories to the root of your device
(The device root directory will also contain a Windows and Program File directory). You will be warned
that the directories already exist and asked if you still wish to copy. Select Yes to All.
Once all the files have been copied you can start TTWinCE, the icon to launch TTWinCE will be located
under the Start &gt; Programs menu on your device.
Evaluation Mode
An unlicensed version of TTWinCE defaults to an evaluation mode. In evaluation mode TTWinCE is fully
functional but is restricted to 40 connection attempts, each of which is limited to a maximum of four hours
each. If you find this limitation inadequate for your evaluation purposes please contact your reseller or
Turbosoft directly.
When initially launched an unlicensed version of TTWinCE will display an Evaluation Notice tile (Figure 1).
This notice will also display each time a connection attempt is made.
TTWinCE can be easily converted into a licensed, unrestricted version without the need for re-installation
simply by applying the appropriate license certificate file.
Figure 1. TTWinCE Evaluation Notice
Licensing TTWinCE
Licensing TTWinCE is a simple process which requires you to place your license certificate file in a location
where TTWinCE is able to find it.
To convert an Evaluation copy of TTWinCE into the fully licensed version please follow these steps:
1�Obtain a TTWinCE License Certificate (.tcf) file from Turbosoft or your Turbosoft distributor.
2�Place this file in the TTWinCE installation directory on your device. Typically this is located at \Program
Files\TTWinCE. Please note that your license file must be named ttwin.tcf.
3�Start TTWinCE. Your license details will automatically be updated and the software authorized.

Chapter 2: Getting Started
An introduction to working with TTWinCE
Getting Started
TTWinCE uses TTWin Configuration (.twc) files to specify preferences and settings. When you first launch
TTWinCE the program will make use of a default predefined configuration which specifies a DEC VT420
emulation over telnet and is set to autoconnect. This means you will initially see a message asking that you
specify a remote host when the software is first launched.
Additionally, if not licensed TTWinCE will default to an evaluation mode and an additional tile will be displayed notifying you of the number of remaining connection attempts available under the evaluation license.
For more information on the limitations of the evaluation license please see Chapter 1.
At this point you may wish to click Cancel to modify the configuration of your TTWinCE software.
Quick Configuration
Please refer to Part Three of this document for more in depth detail on configuring TTWinCE.
Before initiating a connection there are a few pieces of information you need in order to complete a successful
connection to a host system.
Firstly, what sort of terminal you wish to emulate? TTWinCE supports numerous emulations and you will
need to know which one to choose in order to successfully interact with your host applications.
Next, you need to know how you are going to communicate with the host system. You will need to know
what method of communications your host is expecting, as well as your host address and any settings that you
require.
This information, along with any other settings that you might require, should be available from your System
Administrator.
Access to different configuration options is available via the Config menu (Figure 2)
TTWinCE User Guide : Chapter 2 - Getting Started
19
Figure 2. Config Menu
To select and modify the emulation settings of TTWinCE open Config &gt; Emulation... from the main menu.
This will display a tile similar to that shown in Figure 3. By default TTWinCE is configured to use a DEC
VT420 emulation.
Figure 3. Configure Emulation Tile (DEC VT420)
The Emulation Configuration tile consists of a tree list of the configurable emulation options together with
an edit box through which the currently highlighted item may be modified.
To switch to a different emulation select the top item (the name of the emulation module). A Select
Another… button should display in the edit box. Clicking on the Select Another… button will display the
Emulation Selection tile from which a different emulation may be selected.
Upon selecting a different emulation TTWinCE will load this emulation and return to the tile shown in Figure
3 with configurable options for the new emulation.
The communications module may be modified in a similar manner to the emulation by selecting Config &gt;
Comms from the main menu.
Figure 4. The Configure Comms Tile (Telnet).
Saving Your Settings
Once you have selected your emulation and communication settings, be sure to save the .twc configuration
file for future use. From the menu, choose File &gt; Save to overwrite the default configuration.
If you select Save config as..., you will be prompted for a file name to which the configuration will be saved.
By default the configuration file is given a .twc file extension and stored in the program directory.
TTWinCE User Guide : Chapter 2 - Getting Started

Connecting
To initiate a connection, choose the Action &gt; Connect menu function.
Figure 5. Initiate a connection.
If you are running an evaluation version of TTWinCE you will, at this point, see a message informing you of
the limitations and remaining connections associated with this license. To continue with the connection accept
the notice by clicking OK. TTWinCE will now attempt to connect to the host or, where applicable, prompt
you for more details before connecting. After the host connection is established the Action &gt; Connect menu
option toggles to Action &gt; Disconnect.
Disconnecting
A TTWinCE session may be disconnected from the host computer in a number of different ways, usually as a
result of the user logging out from the host computer (or, alternately, selecting Action &gt; Disconnect).
When a user logs off from a remote system TTWinCE will respond in line with it's Action on Disconnect
configuration setting (see Chapter 9 for more detail.) By default this is set to notify the user and prompt for an
action; either reconnect to the host, do nothing or exit the TTWinCE program.
When using an evaluation license, should the user reach the 4 hour limitation they will be automatically
disconnected. Prior to reaching that time, TTWinCE will display warning messages informing you of the
approaching time limit.
When in full screen mode, right click (or tap on Windows Mobile devices) the top
left corner of the screen to bring up a menu, where connect and disconnect commands can be found.

Must be an ASCII character. When you press the ENTER key while the terminal is in block page mode and
display memory contains a formatted display, the terminal automatically transmits the specified field separator
character at the end of each protected field (except the final one).
Block terminator char (30)
Can be any ASCII character. For data transfers between the terminal and a host computer, the terminal transmits the specified block terminator character at the end of the transfer operation.
Local echo (off)
If selected, characters entered through the keyboard are displayed on the screen and transmitted to the host
computer. When not selected, characters entered through the keyboard are transmitted to the host computer
only. If they are to appear on the screen, the host computer must echo them back to the terminal.
XmitFnctn (0)
This field specifies whether the escape code functions are both executed at the terminal and transmitted to the
host computer.
InhHndShk (off)
See InhDC2.
CAPS locked (off)
This field specifies whether the terminal generates the full 128-character ASCII set or only the Teletype-compatible codes.
TTWinCE User Guide : Chapter 4 - Emulations
47
Space overwrites/advances (off)
This field specifies whether or not spaces entered through the keyboard will overwrite existing characters.
InhDC2 (off)
Together, InhHndShk and InhDC2 fields determine what type of handshaking is to be used when transferring
blocks of data from the terminal to the host computer.
InhEOLWrap (off)
This field specifies whether or not the end-of-line wrap is inhibited.
EscXfer (0)
This field controls the transfer of escape sequences to a printer, and has no effect if there is no second port.
Margin bell (off)
This specifies whether the terminal's bell is enabled or disabled. If not selected, the bell will still sound in
response to an ASCII Bell control code (decimal 7, [CTRL_G]).
StartCol (1)
This is a value in the range 1 – 80.
LinePage (Line)
This field specifies whether or not the terminal, when operating in Block mode, will transmit data a line at a
time or a page at a time.
Modes
LF to CR/LF (on)
Converts a LF to a CR/LF.
Smooth scroll (0)
When selected (1), rolling data up and down the screen is done smoothly. When not selected (0), the scroll
jumps a line at a time.
Auto linefeed (0)
When selected a line feed control code is automatically appended to each carriage return control code generated
through the keyboard.
EnqACK (1)
When selected, all ENQ characters from the incoming data are stripped off and in turn responds by transmitting
an ACK. When de-selected, all incoming characters (including ENQ and ACK but excluding NULLS and DELS)
are treated as data bytes, NULLS and DELS are stripped from the incoming data.
Insert mode (0)
This option determines how characters are added to the screen. When selected, the character is inserted at
the cursor, moving previously displayed characters to the right. When not selected, new characters replace old
characters at the cursor position.
Format (0)
When selected, the terminal user can only enter data into unprotected fields.
LineModify (0)
When the terminal is in Remote mode and Character mode and you are communicating interactively with a
host computer, you may sometimes enter an erroneous command string to which the computer responds with
an error message. If the command string is a lengthy one and the error consists of only a few characters, it is a
nuisance to have to retype the entire string. In such a case, you may instead enable Line modify mode (which
temporarily switches the terminal to a special form of Block mode). You can then move the cursor to the
erroneous line on the display and correct the command string. When the string is edited to your satisfaction,
you retransmit the line to the host computer by pressing either the [ENTER] key or the [RETURN] key. Line
modify is automatically disabled when you press either [ENTER] or [RETURN].
ModifyAll (0)
When the terminal is in Character mode, you can enable Modify All, which switches the terminal to a special
form of Block mode. Modify All is the same as Line Modify except that it is NOT disabled when you press
[ENTER] or [RETURN].
Block mode (0)
When not selected, the terminal operates in Character mode. In Character mode, data is transmitted a character at a time as it is entered through the keyboard. Control codes (such as CR and LF) are also transmitted.
When selected, the terminal operates in Block mode. In Block mode, data is NOT transmitted at the time it
is entered through the keyboard. Instead, you transmit an entire block of data by first typing the data and then
pressing the [ENTER] key. When the terminal is in Block mode, control codes (such as CR and LF) are acted
upon locally but NOT transmitted with the data block.
Remote (1)
When selected, if you press an alphanumeric key the associated character code is transmitted to the host computer. When not selected (Local mode), if you press an alphanumeric key the associated character is displayed
at the current cursor position on the screen. Nothing is transmitted to the host computer.
DisplayFns (0)
When selected, the terminal operates as follows In Local mode, it displays control codes and escape sequences
but does not execute them. In Remote mode, it transmits control codes and escape sequences but does not
execute them locally.
Record (0)
Record mode copies from the host to the selected destination (to) device, e.g., an external printer. When the
Record mode is not selected, the contents of a partially filled buffer will be sent to the destination device(s).
LogBottom (0)
Logging is a mechanism whereby data can be automatically routed to an external device e.g., a printer. With
bottom logging, each time the cursor moves from one line to another, the line from which the cursor moved is
sent to the external device.
LogTop (0)
When the display memory is full and another line of data is entered, the top line in the display is purged to
make room for the new line. With top logging, each purged line is sent to the external device. Thus, while the
TTWinCE User Guide : Chapter 4 - Emulations

line is lost from display memory, it is maintained in hard copy form.
Send cursor pos (off)
When selected, if the ENTER key, SELECT or a user defined key (set to transmit) is pressed, the current cursor
position is sent to the computer.
AutoKbdLock (off)
When a terminal is connected to a packet switching network (using X.25 protocol) via a controller/multiplexer,
it is necessary to ensure that the packet sent is received and acted upon before another is sent (from the terminal). In order to achieve this, the keyboard must automatically lock, in such a way that it can only be unlocked
by the receiving host.
Type-ahead (on)
While the keyboard is locked, keystrokes are stored and released when the keyboard is Unlocked.
Type-ahead limit (100)
The number of keystrokes permitted whilst keyboard is locked before the buffer fills and locked state is
resumed.
Type-ahead delay (0)
This setting gives the delay between each key when the type-ahead buffer is purged; i.e. its contents sent to the
host. Measured in milliseconds.
HostPrompt Text (17)
Decimal ASCII character value used by the host prompt.
Enable host-prompt (on)
Uses a host originated user-definable character value to release the keystrokes, stored previously via Typeahead.
ReturnIsEnter (0)
This is the flag to make the [RETURN] key (on main keyboard) act like the [ENTER] key (num pad).
ReturnDefn ()
Sets the character string assigned to the [RETURN] virtual key using the TTWin Lite string parsing language.
Limited to a maximum of 2 characters, and if no string is provided then defaults to \r (carriage return).
TAB is spaces (off)
When selected, the [TAB] virtual key produces the number of spaces required to reach the next tab stop to
the right. When not selected, the [TAB] key behaves as normal, (i.e., sends a tab character). Similarly, this flag
causes BACK TAB to send out the required number of backspace characters (^H) to reach the nearest tab stop
to the left.
NumpadTab (TAB)
Configure the numpad [TAB] virtual key to behave as one of the following virtual keys
&gt; TAB
&gt; RETURN
&gt; ENTER
Destructive backspace (off)
With Destructive Backspace, pressing BACKSPACE moves the cursor back one character and clears the character. Normally, BACKSPACE moves the cursor back one character but the character is not cleared.
Disable block-mode (on)
When not selected, the terminal operates in Character mode. In Character mode, data is transmitted a character at a time as it is entered through the keyboard. Control codes (such as CR and LF) are also transmitted.
When selected, the terminal operates in Block mode. In Block mode, data is NOT transmitted at the time it
is entered through the keyboard. Instead, you transmit an entire block of data by first typing the data and then
pressing the [ENTER] key. When the terminal is in Block mode, control codes (such as CR and LF) are acted
upon locally but NOT transmitted with the data block.
8-Bit mode (on)
This enables 8 bit data input streams.
NoTermOnSendPageFormat (off)
When set to true the terminator on a formatted page send is omitted.
SetHardKeyDefault (off)
SerialNumber1 (TTWIN HP.)

Unisys T27
The T27 emulation provides a single-environment rendition of Unisys’ Burroughs-originated T27 terminal.
The emulation is designed for use with Telnet and Burroughs Poll/Select protocols. Selecting any comms
module other than Serial (ie. Nominally Telnet) configures the emulation for raw data operation. Selecting the
Serial comms module configures the emulation to send and receive data packetized for Poll/Select.
Personality (T27)
Select from the available models:
&gt; T27
&gt; TD830-ASCII
&gt; TD830-NDL
Screen Format (24x80)
The T27 emulation has five standard screen resolution modes:
&gt;
&gt;
&gt;
&gt;
&gt;
24 x 80
12 x 80
24 x 40
12 x 40
24 x 132
While possible, host-initiated resolution switching is not a normal feature of T27 operation and is not currently
supported by the emulation.

While the keyboard is locked, keystrokes are stored and released when the keyboard is Unlocked.
TABs Ruler (off)
When checked, this causes the separator line between the Environment Window Area and the first
(Application) status line to display a ruler-style visual indication of tab stop settings.
Reveal Delimiters (off)
When checked, field delimiters are shown as graphics symbols, otherwise as they are shown as space characters.
App Status Line only (off)
Allows the sizes of the Environment Window Area and the display font to be maximized at the expense of the
indications available on the second and third (Environment and System) status lines.
Environment ID (ENVMNT 0)
This field allows the Environment ID, normally displayed in reverse video at the right-hand end of the separator line, to be customized.

&gt; Unprotected: The CLEAR key action can be set to clear either unprotected only
&gt; Clear all: Both unprotected and protected areas.
Cursor Wrap (on)
When checked, cursor movement past one extent of the screen area takes the cursor to the opposite extent of
the screen.
Data CR visible marker (off)
The CR code doesn’t normally produce any additional on-screen indication, however a CR marker can be
written.
DC1 function (Clear to EOL)
&gt; Stay in Rcv: The T27 terminal can interpret the DC1 code (11H) as an instruction to stay in Rcv mode
at the end of a host write. It also has a Rcv Mode Hold option that provides this behavior continuously.
Otherwise, at end of write, the T27 switches to Local mode. The emulation doesn’t fully implement
separate Rcv, Local and Xmit modes, being always in a combined Rcv / Local mode unless transmitting.
Consequently the Stay in Rcv choice has no effect other than to disable the alternate choice.
&gt; Clear to EOL:
&gt; DC1 causes a clear-to-end-of-line operation.
DC2 function (Toggle Forms)
&gt; Toggle Forms: The T27 can interpret the DC2 code (12H) as a command to toggle Forms Mode
&gt; Advance DCP: Or to advance the DCP (host write pointer) by one position.
Expand Data CR (CR LF)
&gt; CR LF: The T27 can expand a received CR (0DH) to a CR,LF pair
&gt; CR: No expansion is performed.
Expand Data LF (LF)
&gt; CR LF: The T27 can expand a received LF (0AH) to a CR,LF pair (ie. carriage-return, linefeed)
&gt; LF: No expansion is performed.
Expand keybd CR (off)
ETX visible marker (off)
The ETX code may be written to a page to modify Transmit behavior. The codes can optionally be displayed
with a special glyph.
ETX Advance (off)
If checked, cursor position is advanced after ETX is written.
FF Clears TAB stops (off)
Allows the FF (0CH - Clear Page) command code to be used to also clear variable tabstop settings.
FF Exits Forms mode (off)
Form Xmit to Cursor (on)
If checked, and ignoring other influences, in Forms Mode, a transmit operation sends all data from the mobile
home position to the cursor. Otherwise, the send is to end-of-page.
Lock out Lowercase (off)
Characters entered at the keyboard are normally displayed in the case in which they are typed. This option
allows them to be forced to uppercase.
Mouse Cursor Control (on)

Render Fields to End Delimiter (on)
Return-key visible marker (off)
Return doesn’t normally entail additional on-screen indication, however a CR marker can be written.
Return-key action in Forms (Exit field)
Return can be actioned either as positioning to the Next Line, possibly still within the current field, or as
explicitly positioning beyond the current field (Exit Field).
RS Resets Attributes (on)
RS Alternate Character (30)
Accepts a single key character to be used as a field-end delimiter. When Forms Mode is entered, occurrences of
this character are translated to the real delimiter. Only the first character of the entry is significant. [Ctrl_
Shift_H &gt;] enters the RS delimiter directly.
US Alternate Character (31)
This box accepts a single key character that can subsequently be used as a placeholder for the start delimiter
of regular left-justified fields. Only the first character of the entry is significant. When Forms Mode is entered
([CTRL_SHIFT_W] at the keyboard), occurrences of this character are translated to the real delimiter. Field
delimiters can be entered directly using compose sequences: [[Ctrl_Shift_H ?] enters US (LJ), [Ctrl_
Shift_H = ] enters GS (RJ), [Ctrl_Shift_H &lt;] enters FS (protected), [Ctrl_Shift_H &gt;] enters RS
(field-end)
Show Status Lines (on)
SO,SI switch Character-set (off)
When checked, the SO (0EH) and SI (0FH) codes are active as Shift-Out and Shift-In. Characters received
bracketed by SI and SO command codes are translated to the corresponding high-bit-set character.
SPCFY Key sends Page Number (off)
The default SPCFY key ([Ctrl_Shift_Numpad5]) action is to send cursor column and row parameters to
the host. It can optionally send column, row and page.
SPCFY Key sends ASCII (off)
The default SPCFY sequence uses binary encoding of the cursor parameters. This checkbox allows ASCII
encoding to be selected.
Suppress LINC Header (off)
TAB-key visible marker (off)
TAB moves the cursor to the next tabstop or, in forms mode, to the next field. It doesn’t normally entail additional on-screen indication, however a HT marker can be written.
Variable TABs (off)
VT Page Advance (off)
Allows the VT (0BH - Vertical Tab) command code to be used to execute a vertical tab. Page height must be the
default 32 lines and the tabstops are at rows 1, 9, 17, 25. Otherwise, VT toggles the tabstop at the current cursor column.
Block Timeout duration, ms (350)
It is necessary for the emulation to be aware when a write from the host has concluded. For Telnet comms
where no protocol-based indication is available, the emulation assumes that a write is complete when a timeout
period elapses after the last character is received. The timeout period can be from 1 - 999 milliseconds.
Sync display to Forms and blocking (on)
Do Debug (off)
Selecting this items enables data to be written to the debug file.
Log File name (C:\T27.LOG)
Clicking the mouse on the Log file command allows entry of the filename to which the log information will be
saved. (no browse button like the others)
Poll-Select
Terminal Address (00)
Passthrough Printer Address ()
DCOM Early Fill (off)
If checked, the emulation interprets host data and commands as they are received, without waiting for block
validation. It should normally be left unchecked. This can be particularly important for successful remote
operation and also for PPT.
Fast-Select Enable (on)
This option’s current purpose is simply to allow or prevent the interpretation of Fast-Select sequences by the
emulation. This behavior may change.
Group-Select Character (4)
This is the single character address that the emulation will look for when deciding whether to accept a Group
Select message. Valid characters are codes 0x20 - 0x7f with the exception of ‘p’, ‘q’, ‘s’ and ‘t’. Specification of
an invalid character causes 0x04 to be stored.
SOH Clears Screen (off)
This option provides for an automatic Clear Page operation to be performed for each block of application data
from the host. Disabled by default but often required enabled.
SOH Exits Forms (on)
This option provides for automatic exiting of Forms Mode on each new block of application data from the
host.

the host sends the ENQ character.
Colors
To implement the large array of colors associated with a Wyse 350 terminal, this emulation takes advantage of
the Override Color feature in the TTWinCE Color configuration tile. This mimics the use of attributes to
associate and display colors in a Wyse 350 terminal. To aid in the set-up of the color associations, three checkboxes are available.
Notify a color palette change (off)
Allows an administrator to know what palette, if any, is been asked for by the host application. The palette can
be set-up as a color scheme in the Color configuration tile. The user can also be notified when to change the
color scheme for an application when colors are important to its usage.
Notify a color association sequence (off)
Applications sometimes add their own flavors to the standard Wyse 350 color palettes. This option allows the
administrator to change the color schemes accordingly.
Lock write-protect attribute to Invisible|Blink (off)
TTWinCE does not have a Write-Protect as a standard overridable attribute. This option maps this attribute
to a rare attribute, Invisible and Blink, to enable a color to be associated with it. Note that when this option is
selected, any application request for a change of Write-Protect attribute will be ignored.

Select this button to remove a listed color scheme that is no longer required. The Remove option is disabled
when the custom color scheme is selected.
You cannot retrieve a color scheme once it has been removed!
Show attribute combinations
This portion of the configuration tile enables you to tailor those attribute combinations that will be shown
in the Sample text box. This allows for the fact that some emulations only support a subset of the available
attributes. Also you may not want to show attribute combinations that have invisible as one of the attributes.
All
Selecting All enables all combinations of attributes to be selected in the sample text box.
Emulation
Selecting the Emulation button makes only those attributes which are used by the current emulation available for mapping. For example, VT220 does not support the Dim attribute while Wyse 60 does. Hence with
the Emulation option, a color scheme created with VT220 as the current emulation will not include any user
defined Dim attribute color mappings if later used with the Wyse 60 emulation.
Include invis.
Checking the Include invis box will show or hide any attribute combinations that have invisible as one of the
attributes.
Creating and Changing a Color Scheme
To create a new scheme, click on the drop down menu on the Color scheme field. Then select the (custom)
color scheme to start afresh.
To change an existing color scheme, click on the drop down menu on the Color scheme field. Then select the
color scheme you wish to modify.
Figure 19. Editing a color scheme.
To change the selected attribute combination, click on the Change... button. This will open the Edit
Attribute tile as shown in Figure 19, from here you can assign your preferred color mappings to the available
attributes as well as the various features for underline, overline and/or strike through features.

Override color
The Override color option determines whether the colors used when mapping the attribute combinations are
those used by the normal attribute, or are an independent set of colors. If selected, the colors are independent.
Any change to the color set used by the normal attribute will have no effect on this attribute combination and
vice versa.
TTWinCE User Guide : Chapter 5 - Display Settings
101
Override color must be selected before you select the new color from the Color
palette.
Color Palette
The Color Palette represents those colors that are available for use in mapping attribute combinations. The
actual number of colors in the palette display is fixed at sixteen, shown as two banks of eight.
The foreground color of the attribute being changed, may be selected from the palette by clicking the left
mouse button on the color required. The letter F marks the selected color as the foreground color.
Similarly, the background color may be changed by clicking the right mouse button on the color required. The
letter B marks the color as being as the background color.
Windows Mobile users utilize a radio button to select between foreground and
background colors in place of left and right mouse clicks.
Remember, if you want to override the colors used by the normal attribute you must select Override Color
before changing the foreground or background color.
Changing the foreground or background colors will change the name of the color
scheme to custom. If you want to change an existing color scheme you must
specify the name of the color scheme when you save your changes.
Figure 20. Configure Palette tile.
Palette Configuration
Clicking on the Palette... button activates the Configure Palette tile as shown in Figure 20.
The colors that make up the palette displayed on the Edit Attribute tile (Figure 19) may be changed through
this tile.
Current palette entry
A preview of the currently selected palette entry is given beside the Index: entry box.
Index
The number in the Index: field is that of the foreground color. Each color in the color palette is given an index
number. Starting with the top left hand color as 0 then reading left to right the numbers increase by 1.
For example, in a 16 color palette, the top row is 0 to 7 and the second row is 8 to 15. To change to a different
color in the Color palette, click on the drop down menu on the Index: field.
Color levels
Having selected the current palette entry, you can vary the color of that entry by varying the color levels. By
moving the sliders or by entering the appropriate number for Red, Green and Blue, the saturation of these
color components in the palette color is changed. Moving the sliders to the right increases the saturation.
Red:, Green:, Blue:
The percentage of red, green and blue saturation (respectively) in the new user configured color. The preview
window next to the Index: field shows the new color.
When the color is as required, click on the OK button. This will move the new color into the Color palette,
replacing the previous color. All attributes that use this color are changed

Chapter 7: Keyboard Mapping
Mapping the TTWinCE keyboard.
Keyboard Mapping
TTWinCE's keyboard mapping is extremely flexible and allows you to have as many different keyboard configurations as you require. You can have a different keyboard configuration for each application and/or emulation.
To assist you in the configuration of your keyboard, a standard keyboard mapping file is automatically installed
with each emulation. If you wish, you can customize this file or design your own.
With TTWinCE you have the ability to program just about any key to match an emulation key, to send a string
or a macro sequence.
Global Mappings versus Emulation Mappings
TTWinCE provides both global and emulation key mappings. Because global mappings are saved in the .TWC
file, you can use global mappings to enforce a certain key mapping for all the emulations that are also held in
that .TWC file.
Beneath the global level there is an emulation level where mappings for individual emulations can be defined.
The emulation mappings are saved in a .KEY file, the key definition file, which forms part of the emulation
environment.
A global mapping always take precedence over an emulation mapping i.e., global mappings override whatever
that key is mapped to do in an emulation mapping.
If you only ever want to communicate with one host application using one emulation then global mappings or
emulation mappings will achieve this. However, if you want to communicate with different applications, perhaps on different hosts, you may wish to map some keys globally and some keys to the emulations.
Or you may want to communicate with one host and with one emulation, but the host has two applications
that require different mappings for one or more keys. The majority of keys could then be held as global mappings, with the remaining as emulation mappings.
As global key mappings are saved in the .TWC file or session file, you will need to
configure the keyboard for each session file that you use.
TTWinCE User Guide : Chapter 7 - Keyboard
109
Keyboard Mapping
In keyboard mapping it is important to distinguish between physical keys and emulation keys. The physical keys are the keys on either the physical keyboard attached to your device or the on-screen keyboard input
panel. Emulation keys are the keys found on the terminal being emulated. This would, for example, include
the GOLD PF1 key on a VT220 terminal.
There are two approaches to mapping the keyboard:
&gt; Mapping an emulation key. When mapping an emulation key it is only possible to map a physical key
to the emulation key. However, this can prove to be far easier than trying to work through physical PC key
mappings, although clearly it is not possible to create global mappings this way.
&gt; Mapping a physical key. You can map either a string or an emulation key to a physical key. Both global and
emulation mappings are possible this way. Global mappings take precedence over emulation mappings.
While global mappings are typically used for string assignments they may also be used to run macros or to map
escape sequences to the keys.
Configuring the Keyboard
When you select the Keyboard... option from the Config menu the Keyboard Configuration tile is displayed. Initially the physical key list is shown at the top of the tile and the emulation key is show in the
Mapped to area at the bottom.
Figure 23. Keyboard configuration.
The standard mappings are automatically set for the emulation that you have chosen.
Mapping Emulation Keys
You create mappings for physical keys in three ways, with:
&gt; An emulation key from the current emulation, e.g., the VT220 PF1 key.
&gt; A global escape sequence, string or macro, e.g., ^[[1M - the ANSI sequence for bold text.
&gt; An emulation specific escape sequence, string or macro.
Global mappings take precedence over emulation mappings.
To map an emulation key, global or emulation string to a physical key or key sequence, follow these steps:
You can use the [SHIFT], [ALT] and [CTRL] keys together with a physical or
emulation key, if required.
1�Select Keyboard... from the Config menu, the Keyboard Configuration tile is displayed.
Select the physical key from the drop down list in the top half of the tile, you wish to map. If you wish to map
a key combination consisting of [SHIFT], [ALT] or [CTRL] together with your physical key, check the boxes
as shown in Figure 23. The current emulation mapping for this physical key will be shown in the Mapped to
area below.
2�Select one of:
&gt;
&gt;
&gt;
&gt;
Emulation key, go to step 3.
String, go to step 4.
Global string, go to step 4.
Not Mapped.
3�Emulation key: Select an emulation key from the drop down list in the bottom half of the tile that you want
to assign to the selected physical key.
4�String or Global string: You can assign an ASCII data string, an escape sequence or a macro to the physical
key. Enter the string or macro in either the String or Global string field.
5�To save the mapping, click on the Map button. Emulation mappings are saved in a key definition file. By
default this is the file DEFAULT.KEY.
6�Repeat the above steps for all the physical keys you need to map.
7�To save session settings and global mappings, you must also save the .TWC file by selecting Save from the
File menu.
For example, to map the ANSI BOLD escape sequence (ESC[1m) to CTRL_F6 for the current emulation, follow these steps:
TTWinCE User Guide : Chapter 7 - Keyboard
111
1�Click on the CTRL key checkbox and select the F6 key from the physical key drop down list at the top of
the tile.
2�Select String from the Mapped to section.
3�In the String field enter the string: \x1b[1m where \x1b represents the hex value for ESCAPE character.
Hex values are prefixed by \x
4�Click on the OK button to save the mapping.
5�To save the session settings, select Save from the File menu.
To assign a physical key(s) to an emulation key follow these 6 steps:
1�Select Keyboard... from the Config menu. The Keyboard Configuration tile is displayed. (Make sure
that the correct emulation and physical keyboards are selected.)
2�Click the List by emulation key button location on the bottom half of the tile. The Keyboard configuration tile will now change to show the emulation key as the mapping focus.
3�Select the emulation key you wish to map from the drop down list in the top half of the tile. The current
emulation mapping(s) for this emulation key will be shown in the Mapped to area below.
4�To delete a mapping select the physical key entry in the mapped to list and click the remove button.
5�To add a new mapping click the add button. Select the physical key and any [SHIFT], [ALT] or [CTRL]
combination you wish from the tile that appears. Click OK when done.
6�Repeat the above from step 3 for all the physical keys you need to map.
7�To save session settings, you must also save the .TWC file by selecting Save from the File menu.
For example, to map the physical PC sequence [CTRL_SHIFT_F6] to the currently selected emulation key,
scroll down the physical key list and select the F6 key, finally check the Shift and Ctrl boxes.
Advanced Mapping Options
The Advanced... button opens a tile which offers extended keyboard mapping options as shown in Figure 24.
These define the caps lock and numeric keyboard options which may be set in as part of a keyboard mapping.
Figure 24. Advanced Keyboard Configuration.
Removing a Mapping
When listing by emulation key click on the Remove button to remove a mapping. Alternatively when listing
by physical key (the default) select the physical key from which you wish to remove a mapping and change the
selection under Mapped to to be Not mapped.
Saving a Mapping
To save a mapping , click on the OK button. Emulation mappings are saved in a key definition file, i.e., a .KEY
file. By default this is the file DEFAULT.KEY.
You MUST also save the .TWC file using the Save option on the File menu to retain session settings and global string mappings.

Code
Description
%T
Inserts the text string 'TTWinCE' into the title.
%S
Inserts the name of the session file into the title.
%E
Inserts the current Emulation module into the title. This variable is updated in the title if
the Emulation module for that session is changed.
%C
Inserts the current Comms module into the title. This variable is updated in the title if the
Comms module for that session is changed.
%D
Inserts the current date in the title.
%O
Inserts the current connection status into the title bar. If the session is connected to a
host this will read Connected. If the session is disconnected from the host it will read Not
Connected. This variable is updated in the title bar whenever the connection status changes.
%P
Inserts the current printer status into the title bar.
%N
Inserts an integer representing the instance of TTWinCE when the session was started. The
number is 1 if no previous sessions are running.
%H
Inserts the current state of the visible TTWinCE window into the title bar. If history is
being viewed then ‘Viewing history’ will be displayed.
%M
Inserts the current state of TTWinCE macro language into the title bar. If a TTWinCE
macro is currently executing then ‘Macro running’ will be displayed.
TTWinCE User Guide : Chapter 9 - Session Preferences
119
%B
Inserts the current state of the pasting mechanism into the title bar. If TTWinCE is pasting
from the clipboard to the emulation window, then ‘Pasting’ will be displayed.
%U
Inserts the current state of the emulation into the title bar. If TTWinCE enters a pause state
either by user input or host action the ‘paused’ will be displayed.
%A
Inserts the current state of the TTWinCE capture mechanism. If TTWinCE is currently
capturing data then ‘capturing’ will be displayed.
%L
Inserts the current date of TTWinCE text selection mechanism into the title bar. If the
mouse is being used to select text within the TTWinCE emulation window, then ‘Region

%,
Inserts a comma between the currently displayed option and the previously displayed
option. The comma is removed when the currently displayed option ceases displaying.
%Z
Inserts the host name into the title bar.
%%
Inserts the text character % into the title. This is required as a separate entry as the % symbol is used by TTWinCE to represent title variables. This variable adds a &quot;%%&quot; to ensure it
is read as a text character.
By default the Title bar settings are %T Session %N - %S - %E %O via %C
This will resolve to something like: TTWinCE Session 1 – default.twc – DEC VT420 Not connected via Telnet
The default Status bar text settings are %H %P %M %B %U %A %L
This will output status based information such as 'Viewing history' or 'Printing' in response to user activity.
The Status Bar can be shown or hidden via options available under the View menu. For more information
refer to Chapter 3.
Auto connect on startup (on)
Deselect this if you do not want TTWinCE to automatically connect to the host when launched.
Action on disconnect (Notify)
This setting is triggered when a session is disconnected from the remote host (logout, ^D, exit, quit etc.) In this
situation TTWinCE can do a number of things:
&gt; Do Nothing: The connection is quietly closed. On disconnection the user stays in TTWinCE.
&gt; Notify: A tile will appear stating that the connection has been closed and offering the user a choice of
options (reconnect/do nothing/exit TTWinCE).
&gt; Reconnect: Causes TTWinCE to attempt to reconnect to the host.
&gt; Exit: Closes down and exits TTWinCE without any notification.
Startup string ()
As soon as TTWinCE is loaded, prior to attempting to initiate a connection to a nominated host, the Startup
string, a macro, is executed.
Connect string ()
If the Auto connect on startup option is selected AND a connection to the remote host succeeds, the
Connect string is then executed. E.g. the string \p010username\r\p010password\r equates to \
p010: pause 1 second, username\r: send the username and enter/return, \p010: pause 1 second, password\r: send the password and enter/return.
How to Automate Login Using a Connect String
You can use the connect string session preference and a macro to automate the login process. If combined
with an Auto connect on startup setting of on, TTWinCE will automatically connect and login to your host
when launched. To automate the login process complete the following steps:
1�From the menu select Config &gt; General then select the Session Preferences &gt; Connect String
option.
2�In the Connect string enter the login details follow by the emulation keys in braces, a pause at the beginning will give the host time to respond. For example:
\p010UserName{Return}\p010Password{Return}
The above string will pause for 1 second send the username, send the [Return] key, then pause for another
second, send the Password, then send a second [Return] key. For a comprehensive list of macro options
refer to Chapter 13.
The name of the {Return} key may change depending on the emulation being
used.
3�Select File &gt; Save to retain these settings. Refer to Chapter 1 for information on saving your session settings.
Reset emulation on connect (off)
On establishing a host connection TTWinCE resets the terminal emulation.
Reset emulation on disconnect (off)
On disconnecting from a host system TTWinCE resets the terminal emulation.

Chapter 13: Macros
Creating and using Macros.
Macros
Macros can be simply described as a string that provides the ability to execute several operations consecutively
from one initiating action. This is done by constructing the macro from a combination of text and &quot;tokens&quot;,
these &quot;tokens&quot; representing such functions as ASCII control codes, emulation keys, predefined TTWinCE
functions and so on.
Format
A TTWinCE macro consists of standard text which is sent to the host, with embedded tokens. The tokens are
either translated into text (e.g. \r) or perform an action (e.g. pause). Tokens can be grouped into two main categories:
&gt; C-Style text replacements
&gt; Brace enclosed tokens
C-Style Replacement Tokens
These tokens start with a backslash and translate to a single character value.
Token
Character Code
\r
13, 0x0D (CR)
\n
10, 0x0A (LF)
\t
9, 0x09 (TAB)
\b
8, 0x08 (BS)
\f
12, 0x0C (FF)
\xnn
Translates to the hex code nn. Can be 2 to 4 digits, giving values
from 0 to 0xFFFE
\c
Removes any special meaning from the character c. E.g.
\\
The backslash character
\{
The character { rather than the start of a brace token.
\e’name’
Replaced with the value of the environment variable name For
example, \e PATH would return your current PATH settings..
TTWinCE User Guide : Chapter 13 - Macros
141
Token
Character Code
\pnnn
Pause the macro where nnn is in tenths of a second.
\v’name’
Replaced with the user variable name from the [UserDetails] of the
config file.
\U'url'
Launch the default browser with the given url.
Brace Enclosed Tokens
These tokens are enclosed in curly braces {}. They are can be further broken down into one of the following
types:
&gt; Function calls (e.g. {.Connect()} )
&gt; Flow control statements (e.g. {%if(r=0)} )
&gt; Emulations keys (e.g. {F1} )

Host Initiated Macros
This section only applies if you are able to modify applications or write programs
for your host.
It is possible to automatically trigger events in TTWinCE in response to sequences sent from the host. One
way to do this is to use a host initiated macro.
The first step is to set up a macro trigger sequence in TTWinCE. Sending the trigger sequence from the host
is dependent upon the host’s operating system. You will need to be familiar with the operating system on your
host.
For example in a UNIX environment you can use an ECHO command in a shell script.
If, after consulting your operating system literature, you require further assistance please contact Turbosoft for
guidance.
Defining Host Initiated Macros
From the TTWinCE menu select Config &gt; General &gt; Host initiated macro, refer to Figure 29. There are
two sections in the definition of a host initiated macro:
Figure 35. TTWinCE host macro configuration.
Trigger sequence
The trigger sequence is defined with the Macro prefix string. It is recommended that you define a sequence
that is unlikely to occur. For this reason ESC is not a good character to start the sequence. An example trigger
sequence is \x1f~, where \x indicates that the next two characters are a hex value, i.e., 1F.
Macro
Up to 10 macros can be defined with the MacroN string. Alternatively, a delimited macro can be sent in the
host stream prefixed by m.
Macro timeout (200)
Enter the maximum time allowed to execute a macro, shown in milliseconds.
TTWinCE User Guide : Chapter 13 - Macros
145
Interpretation of the Input Stream
When running the session, TTWinCE scans the input stream for the trigger sequence defined with the Macro
prefix or trigger string.
After recognizing the trigger, TTWinCE looks for the next character and responds as follows:
Character Response
0 The macro defined by the profile string Macro0= is executed.
9 The macro defined by the profile string Macro9= is executed.
For example, given the following session settings,
Macro prefix=\x1f~
Macro0=cd ~\n\p020ls -las\n
Where:
cd ~\n change to the user's home directory
\p020 pause for 2.0 seconds
ls -las\n generate an extended directory listing

Read Screen
The Read Screen facility is an extended Macro Language feature designed to provide TTWinCE users with the
ability to automatically trigger an action based on the screen content from a host system. It allows TTWinCE
to monitor screen content for the appearance of predetermined text at specified screen positions and perform
an action when a match is detected. Actions include the execution of a macro, playing of a sound file or zooming of a portion of the screen in a popup window.
Please note this feature is intended for more advanced users.
This feature is not supported on Window Mobile and PocketPC Devices. It is only
available on devices running Windows CE.
Configuration involves modifying the session configuration file (.twc) in a text editor.
