The Proxy Basics 23
Interacting with the Host PC
Once you’re connected to the host PC, it’s almost as if you were sitting right in
front of it. You can control it with your keyboard and mouse, and you can watch
its screen in the Proxy window in front of you.
The Proxy Display
The screen of the host PC will be shown in the Proxy window.
If the host PC’s screen is larger than the Proxy window, scroll bars will appear
that allow you to make any part of the screen visible.
To control the size of the Proxy window, you can:
Š
Size it with the mouse
Š
Click the
Maximize
button (in the upper right corner of the window) to
make the Proxy window match the size of the host PC’s screen.
NOTE: The size of the Proxy window is limited by the size of your own screen,
and it sometimes may not be possible to make the Proxy window large enough to
completely display the screen of the host PC without scroll bars.
How Proxy Maps the Screen of the Host PC to its Own Window
Proxy maps the host PC’s screen to its own differently depending on whether the
host PC is in text mode or in graphics mode.
Š
The host PC is in text mode while at the DOS command prompt or while
running non-graphical DOS applications. In text mode, Proxy uses its
own local font to display the text from the host PC’s screen. You can
select from among several font sizes from the Settings dialog.
Š
The host PC is in graphics mode while running graphical DOS
applications such as a CAD program, or while running Windows. In
graphics mode, Proxy renders the screen of the host PC pixel for pixel.
