When you select "GUI panel settings" from the Workstation
pull-down, the GUI Settings pop-up window is displayed, as shown in Figure 1.
Note: You do not need to have a Workstation connection running, or
to be in GUI mode, to change these settings.

The GUI Settings pop-up window allows you to specify these GUI
parameters:
- Close Window
- Allows you to specify that one of these commands be processed
when you close a GUI window:
- Display Enter Key
- Select this field to display an Enter push button at the bottom
of all GUI panels.
- Accelerator Support
- Select this field to use accelerator keys in this session.
- 3270 mode after losing workstation connection
- Select this field if you want the ISPF session to continue in
the 3270 emulator session rather than abend with code 989 when the
workstation connection is lost while running in GUI mode.
- Download Images
- Select this field to download images from the host library
defined to ddname ISPILIB, to the workstation image path. If
you are not running ISPF in GUI mode, this setting is ignored.
- Make Path for Images
- Select this field to have ISPF create the image path you specify,
when the image path you specify does not already exist on the workstation.
- Path for images
- In GUI mode, this field enables
you to specify a workstation path for images. The image path can be
244 characters long with no embedded blanks. The image path you specify
must follow the accepted path notation for whichever operating system
you are using. If you do not specify an image path, ISPF puts the
image requested into the workstation's working directory.
