Re: Double-left-click mouse event on Host Connection

[Duane Scott <dscott@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I used to do that back in the days of using PCWIN... Then I would do it with ACS... but with the RDi 5250 emulator, If I leave the tabs open when I exit, they will be there the next time I start RDi.  I still have to sign in, which is preferable under the current circumstances, but I don't have to start the sessions each time.  Plus, I have two screens, top and bottom, (horizontal) for each of the two systems I work on.  Most of the time, two is enough.

That won't happen with the ACS emulator as I shut down my system each night.  I'll have to start the emulation session each time and sign in.  An extra step, but nothing to distracting and certainly not debilitating.  If I knew what I was doing, I probably could set up a command key or function key, or something to automatically do it.  Some day I may find out how to do that.

My desire for the ACS emulator being available in RDi is met by the ability to call it directly inside RDi.  So I'm not sure I have an issue any longer.

I usually have 5250 sessions for the systems open anyway so I would never have thought to look for 5250 inside RDi, although I have tried it just to see it work.
