Open TinyTERM’s Session Properties. On the Session tab, configure a modem connection. Click the Setup button next to the selected modem in Available Devices. Change the maximum speed. Whatever speed you select becomes the maximum available until you close and reopen TinyTERM.
This is purely a cosmetic issue. The dialog that allows the user to change the baud rate is actually a Windows dialog, even though the same thing does not happen through Control Panel. And actually, the baud rate set there doesn’t affect TinyTERM.
The reason is that Windows TAPI sets the baud rate when it initializes the modem. It resets the value in the dialog, then doesn’t use that dialog again. There is no real way to change the baud rate in TinyTERM. It’s not necessary, either, because TAPI should select the best available rate. If it fails to do so, try updating your modem drivers first. If that still does not help, you can manually dial the modem instead.

Under certain circumstances, the Wyse50 emulation will ignore control sequences that switch it between 80 and 132 columns. This cannot be reliably duplicated, but it has been conclusively demonstrated. At this point it’s undetermined exactly what the trigger is that causes the switch to be ignored.

The Use non font-based line draw characters option on the Attributes tab of Session Properties creates lines in bold white only. There is no way to change this.

When using modem pool software, the individual modem used by TinyTERM is not reset after disconnecting. This leaves the modem showing as “in use” to other applications until it times out.

After mapping the Fld+ key in TN5250 emulation, pressing it moves the cursor to the next field. However, sometimes it cuts off the last digit entered in the previous field. For example, if you enter $11.03 into a field and then press Fld+, the previous field will sometimes display $1.10.

When debugging RPGILE programs, the TN5250 emulation gives an invalid response. Thus, the debug never properly executes. In particular, it seems to happen when column 6 is left blank.

On a connection where you are able to type ahead of the cursor display, the TN5250 emulation will not buffer the additional keystrokes. If the cursor is not in the correct field when characters are typed, they are lost.

None of the keys in the “island” between the main keyboard and the numeric keypad can be mapped in combination with Shift. These include the arrow keys, Insert, Home, Page Up, Delete, End and Page Down. Nor can they be mapped in combination with the Alt key, or Shift+Ctrl. They can only be mapped unshifted, or in combination with the Ctrl key.
CR 110 (enhancement)
