More Information

• Feature added in PASSPORT PC to Host version 2007-914 and PASSPORT Web to Host version 2007-1228

• When line mode is selected, PASSPORT will behave like Putty:

• 1. When copying or pasting a single line, if the user does not highlight the ENTIRE line and stops where the text ends, then no carriage return will be added.  If the user highlights the ENTIRE line (regardless of where the text ends), a carriage return will be added.
  2. When copying or pasting multiple lines, a carriage return will added after each line until the last line.
  3. On the last line, if the user does not highlight the ENTIRE line and stops where the text ends, then no carriage return will be added.  If the user highlights the ENTIRE line (regardless of where the text ends), a carriage return will be added.
