You may want your UNIX application to change the TinyTERM window title. For example, you may want the title bar to show the application module when a user changes screens.

You can do this in TinyTERM 4.02 or higher by sending a CScript command from the UNIX application. The sequence:

<ESC>&oFSetPropNow(158,”Module”);AppRedraw();^M

will do what you need. Taken piece by piece, the string

<ESC>&oF

tells TinyTERM that what follows are CScript commands. <ESC> should be replaced with the Escape character, ASCII value 27.

^M

signals the end of the CScript commands. Similar to <ESC>, ^M should be replaced with the Ctrl-M character, ASCII value 13.

SetPropNow(158,”Module”);

sets the Windows title bar remark. “Module” can be replaced with any quoted string.

AppRedraw();

redraws the TinyTERM window. This forces the title bar to refresh.

Other CScript commands can be run from the host system in the same manner. For a full list of CScript commands, refer to the documentation included with TinyTERM.
