Hi everyone. I always want the same startup config with TT, but every time I start it, it always defaults to 9600 8N1, with font size 9. I would like to force TT to always start at 38k4 with a font size of 14. I know it is only a few mouse clicks to change, but say that to yourself after about a thousand startups of TT and having to change these settings each and every time. 
There is probably a setting somewhere or something I am not doing, and hopefully this startup arrangement can be changed to what I want. Does anyone have any bright ideas? Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

Haven't got it in front of me at the moment but under SETUP down the bottom there is a 'Save Setup'. Paul "It is better to be ignorant and ask a stupid question than to be plain Stupid and not ask at all" |

Hey Grogster, I know exactly what you mean. I use a program called PTFB. It allows you to program keystroke combinations and delays based on application titles and a plethora of options. I use this for setting up chip programming options for MPLAB IPE. It's amazing how many times you change chips when you have multi chips on one PCB. Scrolling through the chip menu selecting connecting and selecting the file can be like pulling your teeth if you do it enough. 
Also for batch printing. I have it setup so it takes the text from the document and inserts it into the filename with at 'ctr-x' Server logins ... you name it. |

I succeeded in changing to 38,400baud the other day (on a Win7 laptop) It had been annoying me for a whole year to keep starting at 9600. I could not get it to work by using Save Setup so in the end I hunted for a solution. Ended up editing a 'SetUp' file as follows: Goto TeraTerm folder - mine was in ProramFiles(x86). In there, look for the file: TERATERM (configuration settings). Open this file in NotePad (or similar). Use NotePad's 'Find' feature and type in BAUD This should take you to a 'comment line' saying 'Baud rate'. The immediate line following will have the setting 'BaudRate=9600'. I simply changed 9600 to 38400 and saved the file. Next time I ran TT it all kicked up as hoped for (i.e. 38400). I just had a look and a few lines above this there is mention of font (and other stuff too). Hopefully this helps you (just in case Save Setup' doesn't work like it didn't for me!) WW |

@WW If your INI file is in the program folder, it is likely to be Windows preventing the file from being changed. In my case the Teraterm INI file is in 'Documents' so I have no problems with saving changes. There are a lot of other changes that need access to the INI file and the help is limited. Still my favorite terminal program... Jim VK7JH MMedit |

@ WW - Cool - thanks for that hint, I will keep that info handy. In my case, the "Save settings" seemed to work for me, so fabulous. 
@ Jim - Yes, I still like TT the most for what it does, and being free when many of the other terminals are not, also works well in it's favour. It was just the startup annoyances that were starting to bug me.  Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

@ Grogster You haven't been the same since you gave up the Grog. Paul. "It is better to be ignorant and ask a stupid question than to be plain Stupid and not ask at all" |

Paul when I read his comment earlier I thought exactly the same as you. He is awake very late considering NZ is 2 hours ahead of us. Grogs maybe you should have the occasional sip for medicinal purposes. Bob |

There are command-line options for TT. Tera Term command line TTERMPRO [ <host>[[:]<TCP port#>] | telnet://<host>[:<TCP port#>][/] ] [/BAUD=<baud rate>] [/C=<serial port#>] [/DS] [/E] [/F=<setup file>] [/FD=<file transfer directory>] [/H] [/K=<keyboard setup file>] [/KR=<kanji code (receive)>] [/KT=<kanji code (transmit)>] [/L=<log file>] [/LA=<language>] [/M=<macro file>] [/P=<TCP port#>] [/R=<replay file>] [/T=<telnet flag>] [/TEKICON=<icon name>] [/TIMEOUT=<connecting timeout value>] [/V] [/VTICON=<icon name>] [/W="<window title>"] [/X=<window pos (x)] [/Y=<window pos (y)] [;<comment>] Options <host> Host name or IP address. <host>:<TCP port#> <host> with a TCP port number. ":" is placed between <host> and <TCP port#>. <host> <TCP port#> <host> with a TCP port number. Space character(s) between <host> and <TCP port#>. Number just after <host> is interpreted as a port number. telnet://<host>[:<TCP port#>][/] URL style - for telnet handler TCP port number and "/" at the end are optional. If TCP port number is omitted, use 23. (TCPPort setting in setup file is ignored.) /B Telnet binary option. /BAUD=<baud rate> baud rate of serial port. If the baud rate not supported by Tera Term is specified, this option is ignored. /C=<serial port#> Serial port /C=1 COM1 /C=2 COM2 /C=3 COM3 : /C=256 COM256 /DUPLICATE Internal use(must not specify this option) /DS Disable displaying the "New connection" dialog on startup /E Disable TCPLocalEcho and TCPCRSend option /F=<setup file> Setup file /F=TERATERM.INI (default) If this value is not a full path, it is understood as a relative path from ttermpro.exe. /FD=<file transfer directory> File transfer directory /H Hide title bar. /I Start Tera Term in iconized state. /K=<keyboard setup file> Keyboard setup file /K=KEYBOARD.CNF (default) If this value is not a full path, it is understood as a relative path from ttermpro.exe. /KR=<kanji code (receive)> Note: Japanese, Korean and UTF-8 mode only /KR=SJIS /KR=EUC /KR=JIS /KR=UTF8 UTF-8(Normalization Form C: Windows, Linux) /KR=UTF8m UTF-8(Normalization Form D: Mac OS X) /KR=KS5601 for Korean mode /KT=<kanji code (transmit)> Note: Japanese and Korean mode only /KT=SJIS /KT=EUC /KT=JIS /KT=UTF8 /KT=KS5601 for Korean mode /L=<log file> Start Tera Term with logging. /LA=<language> Language mode. /LA=E English /LA=J Japanese /LA=K Korean /LA=R Russian /LA=U UTF-8 /M=<macro file> Start Tera Term with macro.

@ Paul & Bob - Yeah, it was about 4AM or so when I posted that - probably could have solved that issue myself with a fresh day and a freshly recharged brain. As for the booze, I would never be up that late when I was on the sauce - I would have crashed for the night usually before midnight. I do need to get to bed earlier.
@ CG - Thanks for all the command-line options - useful. Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

When I programmed those 150's I found TT was still set to the maximite with a slower baud rate. So it was time to scan the grey matter and remember the save settings. Did that and no problems TT starts with the correct settings. Eh Grog's maybe I should send over a bottle of my shine with a small oak stick in then the longer the temptation the better the drop will be. 
Cheers Bryan |

TeraTerm can do macros. When I get back from wandering around WW's back yard, I will put an option in MMEdit to use TeraTerm for the terminal instead of MMEdit's slow version. You will be able to upload from MMEdit with the single click the play around in TeraTerm. It shouldn't be too difficult to do.... It will have the advantage of working will the VT100 terminal and other Microchip serial ports that MMEdit refuses to play with. Jim VK7JH MMedit |
