System Requirements

1.	CRT requires a minimum of a 386 based machine with 8 megabytes of RAM.

2.	CRT requires one of the following Windows operating systems:

Microsoft Windows NT - version 3.5 or greater.

Windows 95 - CRT has been tested with Pre-Release 2.

Windows 3.1 - operating in enhanced mode with Win32s (version 1.20 or later.)

Windows for Workgroups - operating in enhanced mode with Win32s (version 1.20 or later.)

3.	CRT requires a winsock.dll (compliant with version 1.1 of the WINSOCK standard).

4.	CRT requires a TCP/IP stack. Both, Windows 95 and Windows NT 3.5 include one.


Connect

Displays the connect dialog.

The connect dialog supports three protocols: rlogin, telnet, and socks.

For an rlogin connection, you must specify the remote hostname and remote username.

For a telnet connection, you must specify the remote hostname and remote port. By default, telnet uses port 23.

The socks protocol is provided for users who need to establish a telnet connection via a SOCKS firewall. So, like telnet, you must specify the remote hostname and remote port. In order to establish a socks connection, you must have previously configured the SOCKS hostname and port via the configuration dialog.

This command is not available when you are connected.


Disconnect

Terminates the current connection.

This command is not available when you are not connected.


Log Session

Selecting this command toggles whether the current session is logged to a file.  By default, logging is turned off.

If you turn logging on, you will be prompted for a filename.  The default filename may be specified via the configuration dialog.


Exit

Quits CRT.

If you select Exit while connected, you will be asked whether you wish to terminate the current connection.


Copy

Copies the current selection onto the Clipboard. The previous contents of the Clipboard is lost.

This command is not available until you have made a selection with the mouse.


Paste

Sends the current contents of the Clipboard to the remote site as if it had been typed.

This command is not available if the Clipboard is empty.

Log File

From the third section of the dialog box, you can specify:

the log filename,
whether to prompt for the filename when logging is turned on, and
whether to truncate or append to the file if the log file already exists.

Function Keys

From the fourth section of the dialog box, you can map Fn, ctrl+Fn, and shift+Fn to send an arbitrary string.

The string to be sent can include \ddd, where ddd represents the octal representation of a character. In addition, \r send CR, \n send LF, and \b sends a backspace. Alt+Fn and combinations like ctrl+shift+Fn are not supported.
