Environment

NSL6.x
NSL7.x
Terminal emulator configured with TLaunch

Situation

Terminal emulator screen flashes
TLauch enabled emulator screen blinks
Screen blinks or flashes while SecureLogin performs screen scrape.

Resolution

Use the "BeginSplashScreen" and "EndSplashScreen" commands as  documented in the online documentation for SecureLogin.  Usage example:
Delay 2000
BeginSplashScreen
WaitForText "Login:"
Type $Username
EndSplashScreen
Type @E
For more details on "BeginSplashScreen" and "EndSplashScreen," see the online documentation for Novell SecureLogin, "Application Definition Guide,""Command Reference" section, "Commands."


Additional Information

This behavior is normal and occurs as a result of SecureLogin performing its screen scrape.  The "blink" occurs because the emulator reverses the colors of the screen as text is marked for copy and paste.
