Configuring Tera Term for QICWARE

You can download Term Term Pro from the author's web site

An SSH extension is also available.

Tera term uses a default keyboard configuration file (see the program's online help). This KEYBOARD.CNF has been customized to honor vt100 keys used in typical QICWARE programs such as F3 and F10. It is by no means complete but should get you through most QICWARE programs. To use the updated KEYBOARD file you will need to backup the KEYBOARD.CNF located in in the Term Term install location (ex C:\Program files\TTERMPRO) and copy the file from this site into that location. To download the file right click on the link and select Save Target As.

You can set up multiple customizations by copying the teraterm.ini file and then passing the ini as a parameter on the connection dialog. I added lines in the ini to do so automatically. Don't forget to update all the ini files when you change the Host keywords. 
Host1=somehost:22 /F=green.ini /ssh
Host2=someotherhost:22 /F=red.ini /ssh
Then I edit the VTColor keyword in each of the new ini files. 
VTColor=255,255,255,0,0,255 ; blue
VTColor=255,255,255,0,128,0 ; green
VTColor=2,0,0,255,142,0     ; orange
VTColor=255,255,255,0,0,128 ; purple
VTColor=255,255,255,128,0,0 ; red
VTColor=0,0,0,255,255,0     ; yellow

You should be aware that using su in an existing ssh session can expose the password to brute force attacks.

To get Tera Term to work properly with a message line set the TERM environment variable on the server to vt420. In the Tera Term Terminal setup dialog, set the 'Terminal ID' to VT382 (the closest match) and the 'Terminal size' to 80 x 25. You may have to resize the window so that it's 25 lines long. You can also select 'Term site = win size' or 'Auto window resize' to have it resized for you. You can automate this by choosing 'Save setup...' from the Setup menu or modifying the following keys in your ini file. 

TerminalSize=80,25
TerminalID=VT382
