Recommended any screen environment where the system is prompting input, such as initial Login, Password or Shell prompts, where the prompt can scroll top-to-bottom on the screen.

A TTYPrompt screen typically has a single input field and can occur on any line on the screen
Three other settings are used in combination with TTYPrompt:
Property |

If not zero, the recognition will "hug the cursor" and will be relative to the cursor position. Use a non-Zero CursorHomeColumn if there is variable text in front of the prompt, like "UserXYZ's Password: ".
Leave zero if the recognition starts relative to the beginning of the line. |
|
Must be set to the same row as the input area and prompt on the reference Screen attached to the Screen Definition |
|
The recognition should generally be on the same line as the cursor, typically to the left, starting at the beginning of the line. For some conditions you may want to include text from the previous lines but remember all recognition will be relative to the active cursor location. |
When you set TTYPrompt to true and no CursorHomeRow has been set, you will be prompted to set it to the recorded cursor location.
