FH Web Edition startup parameters

FH Web Edition supports the following shortcut and hyperlink parameters.

Shortcut	Hyperlink	Description
`-u`	user	The name of the user’s account.
`-p`	password	The user’s password.
`-h`	host*	The network name of the FH Web Edition server.
`-hp`	port	The port on which the FH Web Edition server accepts connections. (By default, port 491.)
`-a`	app	The application to run. This may be a command-line string or the application name, as registered with the FH Web Edition Connection Manager.
`-r`	args	Application arguments.
`-c` or -`nc`	compression	`-c` or `compression = "true"` enables compression. `–nc` or `compression="false"` disables compression. (By default, `compression=true`.)
`-ac`	printerconfig	Determines how printers are initialized at startup. When `printerconfig ="all"` or `–ac` is followed by all, all printers are automatically configured. When `printerconfig = "none"` or `–ac` is followed by none, printers are not automatically configured. When `printerconfig = "default"` or `–ac` is followed by default, the default printer is configured automatically. This is the default setting.
`-f`	clientframe	When set respectively to `1` or “true”, all applications running in the session are displayed within a bounding window. When set respectively to `0` or `“false”`, applications are displayed within their own individual windows.
`-geometry`		The width and height of the client window. Example: `-geometry=800x600`
`-mm`	multimonitor	When set to `“true”`, the session’s desktop spans all monitors. When set to `“false”`, applications are confined to the primary monitor. (By default, `multimonitor = “true”`.)
	width	The width of the frame or embedded window. (By default, 800.)
	height	The height of the frame or embedded window. (By default, 600).
	newWindow	When set to `“true”`, applications run in a new browser window. When set to `“false”`, applications run within the existing browser window. (By default, `newWindow = “false”`.)
	embed	When set to `“true”`, applications run within the browser window. When set to `“false”` applications run outside the browser window. (By default.`embed = “true”.`)
	autoclose	When `autoclose ="true"`, closing the Program Window closes the associated browser window and ends the user’s FH Web Edition session. When `autoclose ="false"`, closing the Program Window ends the user's FH Web Edition session, but does not close the browser window. (By default, `autoclose ="false"`.)
	bInBrowser	`bInBrowser` only applies when the Plug-in is run in loose-windows mode. In this mode, when `bInBrowser ="true"`, users are disconnected from their FH Web Edition sessions when they close the browser or browse to another page. In these cases, the session terminates on the host based on the host’s timeout settings for disconnected sessions. When `bInBrowser ="false"`, FH Web Edition runs in a separate process, and users are not disconnected from their sessions when they close the browser or browse to another page. (By default, `bInBrowser ="true"`.)

*If no host is specified in the logon HTML page, FH Web Edition detects the machine from where the logon file was downloaded, and makes the connection to that host. The Connection dialog box does not appear,and the Sign In dialog only appears. If host= "?", users are prompted for the address of the host.

If an application is not specified, the Program Windows opens.

Note: If bInBrowser= "false" and autoclose ="true", the browser closes as soon as the session starts.
