PowerTerm Pro Enterprise supports VBA for automation, integration, and customization, providing the following concrete advantages:

Increased productivity
Using VBA tools that automate many of PowerTerm Pro Enterprise's tasks, PowerTerm Pro Enterprise users can move data from legacy applications into a Windows-based program such as Microsoft Word, Excel, Access and more.
Compatibility Because VBA provides all the functionality of the latest Visual Basic, users have a common language for consolidating earlier macro and scripting languages. Since VBA is a well-known and universally accepted scripting language, it facilitates access to the back end of any other VBA enabled program, so PowerTerm Pro Enterprise can interface with these systems.
Customization VBA ensures a high level of customization and ease of use both in the Windows environment as well as with many other independently developed VBA products.
Cost performance
The deployment cost per user for PowerTerm Pro Enterprise with VBA is minimal since no special software has to be bought or downloaded. The simplicity and wide acceptance of the technology also minimizes the total cost of ownership by reducing training costs, since there is no need to learn a new scripting language.

Leveraging existing knowledge and skills
Terminal emulation software often requires organizations to train staff in the use of various proprietary scripting languages in order to automate repeated tasks. PowerTerm Pro Enterprise with VBA offers a universally accepted scripting language for achieving the goal of task automation in a fraction of the time.
Reduced network loads
With PowerTerm Pro Enterprise featuring VBA, no large components have to be downloaded to run applications.
Integration
PowerTerm Pro Enterprise allows tight integration and easy interfacing between various VBA applications, including Office applications. This facilitates the integration of customized PowerTerm Pro Enterprise components with Internet, extranet and intranet solutions for extended functionality.

- In order to create a desktop shortcut:
- Please follow the steps below:
- It is very easy to capture screen data to a file. Simply use the Ascii File capture capability as follows:

From the Terminal menu, select the Setup option.
Select the Printer tab.
Select the required printer parameters.

Print Device: This option allows you to select a printing output channel. The possibilities are:

Option	Sends the Output
None	No destination was assigned.
Print Manager	Sends to the standard Windows Print Manager, in text mode.
Device	Sends to the DOS device you designate in the Device Name text box. For example, this can be a device such as prn, lpt1, com1. In the Device Name text box, you can also specify communication parameters. For example: COM1:9600,8.
File	Sends to the DOS file you type in the File Name text box. See the Device parameter below.

Note: If you chose Print Manager or None as the option for Print Device, the Device File Name field will be disabled.

Device:
Device File Name: If a file of the same name exists, you can choose to add the new data to it, or to create a new file. You can do this using the File Creation parameters. To add the data, click the Append option; to create a new file, click the Overwrite option.
Other:
Use Form Feed: Adds a form feed (page eject) after each printing job, if you are printing to file.
Print Line Graphics As Text: Converts line graphics to text. This speeds up printing on a slow dot-matrix printer.
Print Screen Data Conversion: Converts data to IBM or Digital character sets. If you do not want to convert data, use the None option, or select Graphics from the dropdown list to print in Graphics mode. Selecting the Graphics option will always send a print screen via the Print Manager in Graphics mode, regardless of the print device.
Slave Printer Data Conversion: Converts data to IBM or Digital character sets for slave printing. If you do not want to convert data, use the None option. Select the Graphics option from the dropdown list in order to print to a postscript printer.
Slave Printer Job Delimiter: When printing in slave mode, the job delimiter character that you select here will divide the data into print jobs instead of escape sequences arriving from the host application.

- PowerPad
  The PowerPad is setup like a grid. You need to specify the row and column of the entry you want to program. The label of the button must be double-quoted and the function of the button goes after the "send".
- Here are examples of programming them in a script:
- pad 1 1 "ELM" {send elm^m}
- pad 1 2 "DATE" {send date^m}
- pad 1 3 "F3" {send }
- pad 1 4 "F4" {send }
- Softkey
  The softkeys are the labelled "F1", "F2" .. "F12" buttons at the bottom of the PowerTerm window.
- Here are examples of programming them in a script:
- func 1 "ELM" {send elm^m}
- func 2 "DATE" {send date^m}
- func 3 "F3" {send }
- func 4 "F4" {send }
- PowerTerm supports three powerful and easy methods for mapping keys:
