The telnetc.ini file is used to modify default values and capture printers for the Console Telnet Client. It follows the standard format for .ini files, containing headings and single line commands. Comments are available using the ‘#’ character at the beginning of a line.
The telnetc.ini file has four headings: general, keyboard, DefaultPrinter, and Printers. Explanation of the DefaultPrinter and Printers headings can be found under Printing Options. The keyboard heading is used for assigning a key sequence to send for the ALT key. The general heading is used to assign new default values to the Console Client features.
The [keyboard] heading
The keyboard heading will assign a key sequence to the ALT key. CTRL and ESC are allowed keywords. The default value is CTRL-A, which is the default assignment for an ALT key for Pragma TelnetServer and Pragma InterAccess for Windows95/98.
The [general] heading
The general heading will set default values for general operation of the client.

The sleep character is the character used to designate that the next value is a sleep increment. For example if the sleep character is defined as #, then put the line #5# in the script file to sleep for 5 seconds.
The menu activation character is the character, combined with CTRL, that will open the telnetc menu for printers and file transfer. For example if the menu activation key is @ then pressing CTRL-@ will activate the menu. Valid characters are alphabetic characters, A-Z, plus @,[,],\,^,_. Alphabetic characters are not case-sensitive, meaning lowercase are the same as capital letters.
