HGS UTS Client Help

End-user reference for the HGS UTS Web Client window: menus, toolbars, tracing, configuration, macros, and keyboard layouts.

Last updated December 29, 2008

Working with the client window

The HGS UTS Client presents one or more screens inside a single client window. When several screens are open you can press Esc — or pick Next Screen from the Window menu — to cycle through them. Most actions are reachable from both a menu and a toolbar; right-clicking on the screen exposes a popup with the most common edit commands.

File menu

  • Connect / Disconnect — toggle the host connection.
  • Print Screen (All) — print an exact image of the entire screen.
  • Print Screen (UTS) — traditional UTS print: from the previous SOE through the cursor.
  • Close Print (Ctrl+L) — end an in-progress print operation.
  • Printer Setup… — open the standard Windows printer dialog.
  • User Configuration Manager… — change colours, fonts, key assignments and macros for the active screen.
  • Diagnostics → Trace to Window / File / Both — start a per-screen trace; the right-click menu in the trace window adds Stay on Top, Copy to Clipboard, and Clear.
  • Diagnostics → Clear Trace Window, Close Trace, FCC Map, Control Page, Transport Trace — extra trace controls (use FCC Map and Transport Trace only at KMSYS support's request).
  • Close — disconnect and shut down the HGS32 window.

Edit menu

  • Cut (Ctrl+X), Copy (Ctrl+C), Paste (Ctrl+V) — standard clipboard operations against the screen buffer.
  • Select with the mouse, or with Shift + Home/End/Arrow keys to extend a selection by row or column.
  • Input Recall — replay or retransmit lines previously sent to the host.
  • View/Edit UTS Control Page — inspect and edit the UTS Control Page directly.

Macros, View, Window, and Help menus

  • Macros → Run lists user-created key macros; Start Recorder / Stop Recorder capture a new macro and prompt for a name.
  • View toggles the Function Key Bar, Tool Bar, Macro Bar, control characters, and inactive pages.
  • Window switches between open screens (Next Screen) and arranges the layout.
  • Help opens the integrated help and product information.

Configuration

User Configuration Manager

The HGS UTS User Configuration Manager bundles the screen-appearance, keyboard, and macro editors into a single dialog. Basic Terminal Settings cover screen size, auto-scaling, and the active palette; Configuration Actions let you save, default, import, and export the entire configuration.

Screen appearance, palette, and fonts

  • Edit Screen Color Palette — adjust individual palette entries or reset to defaults.
  • Screen Font and Automatic Font Scaling — pick a font face/size or let the client scale fonts to fit the window.
  • Default / Import / Export — restore factory settings or move configurations between workstations.

Keyboard layouts and macros

  • Custom Keyboard Layouts — graphic keyboard editor for assigning UTS or Windows actions to physical keys.
  • Add or Redefine Key — capture a key sequence and bind it to a UTS terminal function or a recorded macro.
  • Conflicts — the editor flags duplicate bindings so you can resolve them before saving.
  • HGS Macro Manager — list available macros, edit them, and assign them to keys or toolbar buttons.
