Why HyperTerminal Connectoid File Sizes May Vary

MORE INFORMATION

HyperTerminal connectoids are files that store settings for individual HyperTerminal connections. Connectoids contain the backscroll buffer from the last time the connection was used. Because the size of the backscroll buffer can vary, the size of the connectoids can vary. The default size of the backscroll buffer is 500 lines. To change the size of the backscroll buffer for a connectoid, follow these steps:

1. Use the right mouse button to click the connectoid you want to change, then click Properties on the menu that appears.
2. Click the Settings tab.
3. In the Backscroll Buffer Lines box, enter the number of lines you want for the backscroll buffer.
4. Click OK.

When you open a HyperTerminal connectoid, you can display the contents of the backscroll buffer by moving the scroll box. The information in the backscroll buffer includes information from all the previous sessions that fits in the defined buffer size.
