Is there a setting to allow users to enter data while they are looking at a previous screen by scrolling back in the history with Accuterm 7?

We have a group of users who enter order data and they would like the ability to look at a previous screen while they are entering data. Yes, this seems strange to me.

Currently, if they scroll back through previous pages as soon as they provide keyboard input the screen will jump to the active screen. Is this changeable?

Thanks!

Hi John -

There is no way to disable the automatic scrolling when entering data from the keyboard. The only thing that comes to mind that might help, is to copy the history screen to the clipboard and paste into something like Notepad. Then the user could view the Notepad window while entering data in the AccuTerm window.

Thanks,

Pete
