The CScript command te.GetSelection(0,0,0,0,0); returns the currently highlighted text in the TinyTERM window as a string. However, if the text you highlight only covers one row, it returns an empty string every time after the first.

In other words, the first time you use that command, it will return the correct text no matter how much is highlighted. It will then return an empty string on every subsequent use if only one row of text is highlighted.

You can’t specify a spooling directory for the Century LPD Server unless you put a backslash \ at the end of the path. For example, if you specify C:\temp as your spooling directory, LPD jobs actually spool to C:\, with the word “temp” appended to the beginning of the spool file name. You have to specify C:\temp\ as the spool directory.

Over a telnet session, everything works fine. With SSH, opening a file in vi puts the first line halfway down the screen. Paging forward and back with ^B and ^F produce similar results.

This is not a TinyTERM error. Running vi with the -w24 command-line parameter fixes the problem.

This happened in one specific screen of one HP-UX application. When selecting text in the TinyTERM window and pasting it to another application, the wrong text was pasted. It actually picked up the text 10 characters to the left of the selection.

TinyTERM Thin Client will return this error for some network printers. It’s particularly common with printer names that are very long. In that case, you can generally select the printer and use it correctly once, but making any changes to printer setup after that cause the above error.

This particular situation started with an application that kept a “header line” on the user’s screen. The header was supposed to stay in place while the bottom part of the screen scrolled.

In TinyTERM, the header scrolled also. When they scrolled back up, the header never reappeared, but otherwise display did stop at the correct point.

When used with TN3270 emulation, the te.GetSelection() command returns an empty string. It works with the text-based emulations.

The tsltrans.exe program included with TinyTERM 4.x will convert TERM Script Language files to CScript. However, it was not always well-documented. The tsl_ commands that it uses are documented in the current Programmers Reference Manual.

Installing TinyTERM 4.30 on Windows 95 or 98 may produce this error. There is no workaround.

TinyTERM version 4 did away with a printed manual. All the information is now contained in the Help file.

This proved to be inadequate for some customers, so a Quick Start Guide was added in TinyTERM 4.10. You can download a current copy of the Quick Start Guide here.
