1.0  What Is Graphical Access for AS/400
 
     Graphical Access for AS/400 is a comprehensive, easy,
     point-and-click graphical user interface (GUI) for the
     corresponding IBM AS/400 screens.
 
2.0  Connecting to Your AS/400
 
     Graphical Access for AS/400 runs in conjunction with a 5250
     data stream emulator, which is included.
 
     By default Graphical Access is set up to connect to the first
     active AS/400 connected via SNA APPC.
 
     If you need to specify any parameters, they can be specified
     after installing Graphical Access for AS/400. Select
     the Graphical Access for AS/400 icon.  On the File
     pull-down menu in the Program Manager window menu bar, select
     the Properties menu choice.  At the end of the command
     line section, add /H:xxxxxxxx where xxxxxxxx is the system alias
     name of the AS/400 you are connecting, and /E:xxxxx where xxxxx
     is the type of connection to use.
 
                /E:Intern  -   (The default)
                               Enhanced APPC connection using the
                                 internal SNA emulator. Use this if using
                                 Client Access router, Netsoft
                                 router, or other compatible SNA
                                 router. The connection would be
                                 configured as Local Area Network,
                                 X.25, SDLC, or Asynchronous.
 
                /E:Telnet  -   TCP/IP Telnet connection
                                 (Requires WinSock TCP/IP support)
 
   To connect to a particular AS/400 via SNA APPC, specify:
 
      /H:systemname     (/E:xxxxxxx defaults to /E:Intern for SNA)
 
           where "systemname" is AS/400 system alias name known by
           Client Access  (e.g. /H:SYSTEM1).
           To find the system alias name in Client Access, go to the
           AS/400 Connections window.
 
   To connect TCP/IP, specify:
 
      /E:Telnet   /H:xxxxxxx
 
           where xxxxxx is the AS/400 system alias name that is
            configured as a TCP/IP connection in Client Access
            AS/400 Connections window.
            (assumes you have a WinSock TCP/IP support installed).
 
 
3.0  Notes About Using Graphical Access for AS/400
 
     Seeing Green Screens
     -------------------
     Graphical Access for AS/400 displays most of the IBM OS/400
     screens and many IBM Licensed Program screens
     graphically.  If you happen to get a green screen, don't
     worry. Non-IBM application screens and some IBM screens will
     not be shown graphically.  They will be shown in a green
     emulation window.  All keys will function normally and when you
     return a screen which Graphical Access supports graphically,
     it will appear with the graphical interface.
 
     Error Conditions
     -----------------
     Unknown system name.
 
       Possible causes:
 
        - /H:xxxxxxx parameter specifies a system name that is not
             a system alias name. The name must match one of the
             system alias names shown in the AS/400 Connection window
             and configured for the requested connection type.
 
        - /H:xxxxxxx parameter specifies a system alias name that
             is configured for a connection type for which support
             is currently not loaded.
             For example, configured as TCP/IP, and /E:Telnet is
             specified, but TCP/IP communications support is not
             loaded.
 
        - /H:xxxxxxx parameter specifies a system alias name that
             is configured differently in Client Access Configuration
             than is specified by the default or specification in
             the /E:xxxxxxx parameter for Graphical Access.
             For example, configured for TCP/IP in the
             Client Access Configuration, but /E:Telnet is not
             specified in the properties of the Graphical Access icon.
 
     The Adapter handler has not been installed or it cannot be
         initialized.
 
       Possible causes:
 
        - /H:xxxxxxx parameter specifies a system alias name for a
             system that is configured for an SNA connection, but
             the SNA router is not loaded.
