Caption

Specifies the string that appears in the Reflection title bar.

This string is also displayed on the taskbar when Reflection is running. If Reflection is running but minimized, the configured string is displayed on the taskbar. Type a predefined shortcut option, or enter up to 260 characters in the box. The predefined shortcuts and options are:

Shortcut Option
&w Open Text
&r Product Name
&f Session File Name
&s Session Type
&t Transport
&h Host Name
&d Date
&c Connection Status (whether you are connected and over what transport)
&v Assigned Device Name (relevant only for 5250 sessions that use an assigned Device Name)
&l Assigned LU Name (relevant only for 3270 sessions that use an assigned LU Name)
&& A single Ampersand

For example, if you set the Caption to &s - &t - &c, you should see text similar to “IBM 3270 Terminal - Telnet - hostname via Telnet” in the Reflection title bar or on the taskbar, assuming Reflection is running but not minimized. (The exact text depends on your configuration.) The default is &f - &r - &s.

Show Menu Bar

Display the menu and toolbar in Classic mode.

note

When this option is unselected, you can display the menu by clicking the Reflection button and then choosing Show Menu Bar.

Show Status Bar

Display the status bar in Classic mode.
