Configuring the Mouse for Invision Through TCP3270

Now that more people are able to get to the Invision sign on screen through TCP3270, how in the world can you use your mouse to access some of the functions inside Invision? The following guidelines will have you right-clicking on fields in no time.

Host

  1. Once inside TCP3270, select Session from the Options menu.
  2. Scroll down and select Host category.
  3. In the IP Host\Gateway box, make sure it says "NOMVS.LSUHSC.EDU" (no quotes)
  4. If it doesn't have this listed, delete whatever is in the box and type NOMVS.LSUHSC.EDU exactly.
  5. Click on the Save button & click on MAINFRAME in the profile box (you will see Mainframe twice if it is already selected)
  6. Click Save again. This will return you to the mainframe session.

Mouse

  1. Once inside TCP3270, select Session from the Options menu.
  2. Scroll and select Mouse category.
  3. Select Right Mouse Action and scroll down to select "Move-Cursor-Cursor-Select" (no quotes).

  5. Reselect "Move Cursor-Cursor-Select".
  6. Select Save.
  7. In the Profile list, select Mainframe.
