10.6.1 Capturing MSTTERM Interactions to a Text File
1. The

Select File
,
Pause

, and

Capture
commands. Initially, only the
Select File
command is active and the others are
unavailable. When you first initialize the MSTTERM program, text is not captured to a file.
2. Clicking
Transfer
→
Capture Text
→
Select File
opens the
Select a text file to capture to
box, allowing you to create a new text file or select a current one.
3. The
File name
and
Files of type
boxes display the file name “capture.txt”. Enter a new
name or select an existing one and then click
Open
. If you enter a new file name, the
program creates that file with empty contents until it receives some text. If you select an
existing file, the text captured to that file is appended to the current contents.
When the operation begins, the Status bar displays “Capturing”, and the
Pause
and
Stop
Capture
commands become available; the
Select File
and
Resume
commands become
unavailable. During the capture, all characters received are saved to the capture file, and all
locally echoed transmitted characters are saved as well. If local echo is off, then transmitted
characters are not saved to the capture file. If filtering is on, then the filtered and displayed
characters are saved to the text file.
