| Q.: Can the terminal program allow read/write of data into Microsoft Excel? |
A.: Yes, here's some sample code that should help you with this. This macro takes all the text from Intellitem's session and puts it into cell (1,1) of the current worksheet:
Sub test()
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
crlf = Chr(13) + Chr(10)
iChanNum = DDEInitiate("ITERM", "1")
iNumRows = DDERequest(iChanNum, "Rows")(1)
iNumCols = DDERequest(iChanNum, "Columns")(1)
data = ""
If iChanNum Then
For Row = 1 To iNumRows
request = "P" + Mid(Str(1 + ((Row - 1) * iNumCols)), 2) + "L" + LTrim(Str(iNumCols))
request = request + crlf
r = DDERequest(iChanNum, request)(1)
data = data + r
Next Row
ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Cells(1, 1).Value = data
Else 'could not open session
MsgBox "Could not open DDE Session with program."
End If
ErrorHandler:
DDETerminate iChanNum
End Sub

| Q.: After mapping the keys, the NumLock keyboard light does not work when changing sessions. What do I do? |
A.: Open the ITERM.INI file. Add the following lines under [SYSTEM.SETTINGS]
Allow NumLock Maps = OFF
Auto Toggle NumLock = OFF
Allow NumLock Maps = OFF controls your ability to switch between a mapped keypad and a numeric keypad. In the OFF position, you have two options: NumLock light ON gives you a numeric keypad; NumLock light "OFF" allows you to map the keypad.
Auto Toggle NumLock = OFF causes IntelliTerm to ignore the condition of NumLock light. It will remain OFF or ON when switching between sessions depending on the condition that NumLock was in when you change the session.

| Q.: Can IntelliTerm be configured to automatically login to a server? |
A.: Yes, this can be achieved by creating a macro and associating it with the specific IntelliTerm profile that is to automatically login to the server.
Following is an example of how to create an autologin macro to connect to a UNIX system. The macro assumes that no data needs to be sent before receiving a login prompt:
- Connect to the server using the profile to be used, the select Edit from the Macro menu and create the following macro:
Sub Main
MAX_ATTEMPTS=20
'The next line supplies your account login name to the server.
'Replace "username" with your account name.
LoginID="username"
'The next line is the prompt that your server sends out for the user to enter the account
'password. Replace this with the prompt used by your server (eg. "word:")
PasswordPrompt="assword:"
'The next line supplies your account password. Replace "password" with your actual account password.
Password="password"
CurrentHost.Keys LoginID+"\n"
i=0
While InStr(CurrentHost.Text,PasswordPrompt)<=0
CurrentHost.WaitIdle(200)
i=i+1
If i>MAX_ATTEMPTS Then End
Wend
If(i>MAX_ATTEMPTS) Then
MsgBox "Autologin failed"
Exit Sub
End If
CurrentHost.Keys Password+"\n"
End Sub
In the Macro Editor, select Save from the File menu to save the macro to a file, e.g.: c:\mymacros\autologin.wwb
Close the Macro Editor
- Select Edit Session Profile from the Options menu in ntelliTerm Select General and set "Autostart Quick-Key/Macro" to the full path of the autologin macro you just created (in our example this would be c:\mymacros\autologin.wwb). Then click on Save to save this new setting to your profile.
Once you have done this each time the profile is started it will automatically run the macro created and proceed to automatically login to the server using the account information specified in the macro.

| Q.: Do I need a special license even if I want to run only one instance on a Citrix server? |
| A.: Yes you do. The Distinct Resource Manager makes a UDP call that is incompatible with thin client environments. This call is disabled during the evaluation period. A special serial number and key code are required from Distinct to disable this function in a purchased license. |
