  • Crescat
  • File
    New Session…
    Creates a new terminal window and displays a login sheet for you to specify a host address and user ID. Learn more about logging in.
    Open Session…
    Prompts you to find a previously-saved Crescat session file. If you select one and press the Open button, the previous session will appear with its settings restored, and its content available in the scrollback portion of the window. It will present the login sheet for you to reconnect to its saved host using the same user ID. Note that the saved session will use the session settings saved in the file, and not the settings saved in any preference panel.
    Close
    Closes the frontmost window. If the frontmost window is a terminal window, this ends any terminal session that may have been active in it.
    Save
    Saves a terminal window, its contents, and its settings as a Crescat session file. Crescat session files may be reopened, in which case they offer to reconnect using their saved settings, and with their saved contents preserved in the scrollback portion of their windows.
    Save As…
    Saves a terminal window in a choice of formats. In addition to the Crescat session file format, you may save the file as plain text or as rich text.
    Session Settings…
    Displays a sheet that allows you to change some terminal attributes while you are connected. These include the terminal and text colors; color and shape of the cursor; the character sent by the delete key; and the size of the terminal window.
    Manage Host/User Defaults
    Displays a window that allows you to manage settings for future terminal sessions, arranged by remote host address and user ID. Host address, user ID, row and column counts, and port number can be edited directly in the table. Other information for the selected host/user combination can be set using the controls at the bottom of the window. Note that if the login sheet retains a host name you wish not to keep a record of, this is the place to delete such records.
    Page Setup…
    Displays the standard Mac OS X sheet allowing you to select paper size and orientation for printing.
    Print…
    Print the entire contents of the active terminal window, both the terminal section and the scrollback. Displays the standard Mac OS X sheet allowing you to set printer options and proceed with printing. Crescat can add items like your name, page numbers, and the date to printed pages. Learn more about printing options.
    Print Selection… (Command-Control-P)
    Print only the selected contents of the active terminal window. Displays the standard Mac OS X sheet allowing you to set printer options and proceed with printing. Crescat can add items like your name, page numbers, and the date to printed pages. Learn more about printing options.
    Print Screen… (Command-Option-P)
    Print only the terminal section of the active terminal window, and not the scrollback. Displays the standard Mac OS X sheet allowing you to set printer options and proceed with printing. Crescat can add items like your name, page numbers, and the date to printed pages. Learn more about printing options.
