Session Property Enhancements

Several new session property options have been added to give you more control over the behavior of your terminal sessions. These enhancements include:

Terminating Character
Allows you to specify the automative command terminating character. This is set to <CR><LF> by default.

Auto Line Wrap
Allows you to force incomming data to a new line after a specified number of bytes have been reached per line. Some devices do not include formatting line character, but rather simply transmit raw data in a stream of data bytes. This option will allow you to view the incomming data in a more managable way.
