Mocha CE TN5250 is an application for the Microsoft CE Windows platform. It makes it possible to connect to an AS/400 with the TN5250 protocol and emulate a 5250 Display Station
From the right corner of the TN5250 window, it is possible to tap on the menu elements: File, Fx and Keys. Fx is used to access AS/400 Function keys and Keys contains a set of other standard 5250 keys.
In the following we will describe the file menu elements in details.
All parameters in the configuration are saved in the CE registry.
Advanced:
The buttons Remove and Add can be used to modify the layout.
If the program reports "Wrong type of License key" , please check:
The license dialog box should look as:
-----------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------
Where you should replace "mycompany" and "B1234" with the information from the License letter.
