The Soft Buttons
A series of buttons is displayed below the status line at the bottom of the window by
default when TeemTalk is loaded. These can be programmed so that they perform
various functions when clicked. By default the buttons on level 1 are programmed to
perform DEC VT400 keyboard functions.
There are four levels of soft buttons. Each level consists of two rows with six program-
mable buttons on each row. This provides a combined total of 48 programmable
buttons. All levels are accessible even if not all are displayed. Levels stored off-screen
can be 'scrolled' into view by clicking the

levels of soft buttons are actually displayed by using a resource or command line
option.
The soft buttons are programmed using the
Keyboard Macros
dialog box, which is
displayed by selecting

in the
Settings
menu. Refer to the
Setup
Menus
chapter for information.
You can toggle the visibility of the soft buttons on and off by clicking the second
button in the DEC indicator status line, or in HP700/92 and AT&T 4410 modes by
clicking the middle button in the row of function buttons.
