Abstract
A computer terminal is disclosed which allows enhanced local configurability by permitting the user of the terminal to display information received from a remote host in a variety of ways which may be customized by the user without any programming efforts. Specifically, the terminal recognizes each screen of information downloaded from the remote host, and processes that screen in a manner easily definable by the user. This includes translation of literals to other languages, as well as "look and feel" attributes, such as color, etc.
