3.1 Create a Terminal Session

To access a host, you need to configure a terminal session document that you can use to connect to the host. Once you've created this document, you can connect to the host simply by opening the session document.

Each session document is pre-configured to use a built-in Ribbon, theme, keyboard map, and mouse map file. You can create custom versions of these files to modify the appearance and capabilities of your session.

To create a terminal session document

Open the Create New Document dialog box.

The steps depend on your user interface mode.
