The PASSPORT terminal control provides terminal emulation screen and keyboard support. This object runs in conjunction with a session object. The session object maintains the host screen buffer and performs all communication with the host system. The terminal control object provides a user interface for that session object. The PASSPORT terminal control is used for developing client based host integration applications where a terminal emulator needs to be imbedded into another application.
