     PropertyGets or sets a value indicating whether a copy (cut or append) operation puts values in unprotected input fields on the Clipboard.  
     PropertyGets or sets a value indicating whether the terminal copies the character spaces that trail a selection when text is copied to the Clipboard.  
     PropertyGets or sets the cursor's column location relative to the left edge of the terminal window.  
     PropertyGets or sets the cursor's row location relative to the top edge of the terminal window.  
     PropertyGets or sets a value indicating whether Cut and Clear actions replace characters with nulls or spaces.  
     PropertyGets or sets a value indicating whether hotspots can be used.  
     PropertyGets the HotSpots object which is used to obtain/specify information pertaining to HotSpots behavior.  
     PropertyGets a value indicating whether the keyboard is locked.  
     PropertyGets or sets a value that specifies Kana Mode from the JIS-layout, which produces half-width Katakana characters.  
     PropertyGets the OIA object. OIA represents the status line on the screen.  
     PropertyGets the parent object (IIbmTerminal).  
     PropertyGets or sets a value indicating whether to align space separated data with fields on the screen.  
     PropertyGets or sets a value indicating whether to clear all of the previous data remaining in a field after pasting new data into it.  
     PropertyGets or sets a value that controls how text is pasted on a screen that has restricted locations. When true, pasting into a restricted field is skipped if the text contains an invalid entry for that field and the remaining text is pasted into subsequent fields. When false, pasting stops and the screen is locked when an attempt is made to paste an invalid entry into a restricted field. This property applies only to IBM 5250 terminal sessions.
     
     PropertyGets or sets the character that is inserted in a field on the terminal screen when data containing line breaks is copied from the Clipboard.  
     PropertyGets or sets a value indicating whether pasted text should be interpreted as a host screen image and overlaid onto the current screen starting at the current cursor position. If true, where the current screen contains an unprotected field, the source image text is pasted; where the current screen contains a protected field, the source image text is skipped. If false, the text is interpreted as a linear stream that can contain new lines and delimiters, and is pasted accordingly.  
     PropertyGets or sets a value indicating whether to move the cursor to the end of the pasted text. If False, the cursor is restored to the position it was in before text was pasted.  
     PropertyGets or sets a value indicating whether to replace tabs in the Clipboard's contents with a specified string before pasting the selection within a host application.  
     PropertyGets or sets the string that replaces tabs if the PasteReplaceTabs setting is set to true.  
     PropertyGets or sets a value indicating what happens if the terminal reaches a protected field while pasting text in the following row at the same column location where the paste began.  
     PropertyGets or sets a value indicating whether pasted text should be wrapped to the field below (instead of to the field to the right).  
     PropertyGets or sets a value indicating whether text that exceeds the current line length is pasted in the next field or truncated.  
     PropertyGets the PrintOptions object. PrintOptions holds configuration options for print emulation and print screen.  
     Property

    Gets or sets a value that controls how the PutText method places a string of characters onto the host screen. The PutText method has two modes: Mask and LinearStream.

    In Mask mode (the default), the PutText method interprets the text as a host screen image and overlays the text onto the current screen starting at the specified screen position. Where the current screen contains an unprotected field, the source string is placed in the field; where the current screen contains a protected field, that portion of the string is skipped.

    In LinearStream mode, the text is placed sequentially in unprotected fields, and remaining text that exceeds the current unprotected field's length extends into the next unprotected field(s), until all the text has been placed on the screen.

     
     PropertyGets the number of rows of the screen.  
     PropertyGets or sets time duration during which there should be no host data changes.  
     PropertyGets the area of the screen that's currently selected.  
     PropertyGets or sets options (Block or Stream) that determine the shape of a selected region.  
     PropertyGets or sets a value indicating whether the Show Bytes Remaining indicator is displayed on the host status line.  
     PropertyGets or sets a value indicating whether hotspots are visible in the terminal window.  
     PropertyGets or sets a value indicating whether operation and status messages are displayed in the Operator Information Area (OIA) at the bottom of the terminal window.  
     PropertyGets or sets a value indicating whether to show shift-out and shift-in (SO/SI) control characters on the terminal screen.  
     PropertyGets or sets a value that specifies how spaces are processed when text is copied to the Clipboard.
