locking down terminal charactistics

[RX87325]

How can I prevent users from changing terminal characteristics.
I need to prevent the users from changing the terminal emulation from TTY to VTxxx.

My application capture data from a lab instrument using a direct connect connection.
I need to prevent the user from cursoring around on the sceen and changing data send from the instrument.
The TTY terminal type seems to limit the users ability to move around on the screen and change data.

There is no way to do this completely, but you can limit it at bit. First, you can turn off the Quick Select Line using the View | Quick Select Line menu item so users cannot use that to switch emulations. Next, you could edit the various Action Bars in Procomm using the Action Bar Editor and remove the Setup icon so an emulation cannot be chosen there. Finally, you would need to modify the startup.was script to add some disable commands (see the ASPECT help file) to disable the View | Quick Select Line menu item and the various menu items under Options that lead to the Setup dialog so that your changes can't be easily undone. This isn't perfect or fool-proof, but would likely stop most users.
