You can edit MacWise function keys by simply double clicking on a fkey and entering the command.
But if you want all users to have exactly the same function keys, you can write a basic program on the host.
MacWise supports standard Wyse and Viewpoint fkey programming from the host.
You can program the fkey title and command for each fkey.
The host program normally runs during login to customize the MacWise function keys.

The following basic programming examples will work with MacWise as well as with Wyse and Viewpoint terminals.This is how you would program only the F1 key under host control...
PRINT CHAR(27):"z0myF1":CHAR(13): *this is the title for the F1 fkey
PRINT CHAR(27):"z@myCommand for F1":CHAR(13):CHAR(127): *this is the command for the F1 fkey

In the above example, the F1 title becomes "myF1"
The command for F5 becomes "myCommand for F1" with a carriage return after it.

The following is a basic program you can use as an example to program all of the fkey commands and titles. It will program the fkeys to look like this:

* Program the commands for F1 through F16
PRINT CHAR(27):"z@myCommand for F1":CHAR(13):CHAR(127):
PRINT CHAR(27):"zAmyCommand for F2":CHAR(13):CHAR(127):

MacWise allows a Macintosh to be used as a terminal -- connected to a host computer directly, by modem, local area network or over the Internet. The emulators support video attributes such as dim, reverse, underline, 132-column modes, protected fields and graphic characters sent from the host computer, as well as enhanced Viewpoint mode. Features include phone list and dialer for modems, on-screen programmable function keys, connection scripts and more.

 

MacWise emulates ADDS Viewpoint, Wyse 50, Wyse 60, Wyse 370, Televideo TV 925, DEC VT100, VT220 and Prism terminals. Supports ANSI color. Esprit III color is also supported in Wyse 370 mode. SCO ANSI is also supported.

Connectivity

1. Built in Modem
2. Telnet / TCP/IP
3. SSH Secure Shell
4. Serial ports via USB to Serial adaptor
5. Also communicates directly with the Mac unix shell

 

If your office uses a business computer that allows you to log in as a terminal, you can use MacWise to access your business data from your Macintosh when you are out of the office (or in the office)

MacWise will connect your Mac to the office computer using your modem or with ethernet using a lan connection in your office or over the Internet.
