Communications 10-7 Capturing incoming data In the Help index,* see: E capturing data E communications preferences You can capture, or save, all incoming data (not just the contents of the screen and the scrollback pane) in a text file as it's received. When you capture data, the file is saved on disk-not in memory. You can start capturing data before you connect or while you're online. For example, if you don't want to save your online service's menus, you can wait to capture data until you're about to receive the information you want. To Begin capturing incoming data Stop capturing the data Set preferences that affect how you capture data Choose Capture to File from the Session menu, enter a filename, and then click Save Stop Capture from the Session menu Preferences from the Edit menu. In the Preferences dialog box, choose Communications from the Topic pop-up menu, select options, and then click OK. Saving and printing communications documents In the Help index,* see: E capturing data When you save a communications document by choosing Save from the File menu, you are saving the contents of the terminal area, the scrollback pane, and your current communications settings. You can save a communications document at any time, even if you're connected to another computer. To save only the text in the scrollback and terminal areas (excluding the communications settings), choose Save As from the File menu. Name the document, choose Text from the pop-up menu, and click OK. Important You should not use Save on the File menu as your primary means of saving incoming data; you should use it mainly for saving communications settings. When you save a document with Save, copies of the scrollback pane that you saved earlier are overwritten and data may be lost. To store incoming data safely, capture it directly to a file. See the previous section, "Capturing incoming data." To print a communications document, choose Print from the File menu. You can print at any time. * Choose Index from the or Help menu and scroll to the entry. Then choose a topic from the list and click Go To Topic.
