Using Session Management Characters Within Windows
You can use session switching and Telnet management control characters from within windows, just as you
would at a terminal that did not support the MULTISESSIONS characteristic. The local switch character
calls up the Model 3395/3395A command processor at the window where you hit the character. The
forward switch and backward switch characters behave somewhat differently from within windows, and these
differences are described below. Chapter 2 explains session management control characters in detail.

All VT330 and VT420 terminals have a <Break> key. If the <Break> key is set to LOCAL at your port,
you can use it to suspend a session in a window, just as you would on a terminal without windows.
