COMPAQ CONFIDENTIAL - NEED TO KNOW REQUIRED
When the Change Attention Key menu option is selected, IRC prompts you to
enter a new attention key. A screen similar to Figure 4-6 is displayed.
Figure 4-6. Change Attention Key screen
The default attention key for a new user is Ctrl + A. If a user modifies the
attention key, the modified value is saved in the user database. Different users
can use different attention keys.
An attention key may be any ASCII key, preferably a key that is infrequently
used. For this reason, numbers and upper and lower case numbers are not
allowed to be assigned as the attention key.
See Chapter 5 for a complete listing of attention key sequences.
Changing the Terminal Screen Size
This option allows you to accurately view the server console from the remote
terminal program. Users accessing IRC from Compaq Insight Manager do not
need to change this setting, since Insight Manager’s terminal window
automatically adjusts to the correct number of lines as the server changes video
modes.
For proper operation, this setting must match the number of lines currently
displayed by the remote user’s ANSI terminal. Most standard ANSI terminal
emulation packages, like HyperTerminal, default to a screen size of 80 columns
by 24 rows. This mode can be accommodated by IRC by changing the terminal
size setting to 24 rows. However, since the server display usually contains at
least 25 rows, all rows which extend beyond the terminal size setting are
shortened.
