Transparant Speedtouch enables videochat AND remote screen!!!!

By making my Speedtouch ST780 as transparant as possible, i can finally videochat AND do remote screen.
1) I assigned my Mac the public IP address of my speedtouch, using the Speedtouch webinterface: Home > Network > Devices > Assign the public IP address of a connection to a device
     This adds the next portmapping In the ST780 portmap
   Idx Type Interface       Outside Address                Inside Address                 Use
     3 NAPT Internet        aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd                aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd                23
2) I set the security level of the firewall of the speedtouch to disabled, using the Speedtouch webinterface: Home > Toolbox > Firewall > Configure
     This adds the next firewall rule in the ST780:
   Chain                    Nr.  Flags  Rule                                                      
   forwardlevelDisabled   1    C E    AnyTraffic    : accept   . > .
3) I set the firewall of the Mac to " Set access for specific services and applications" and added the application ichat. Setting the Mac's firewall to "Allow all incoming connections" also works, but i need some protection now.
Of course my VOIP telephone of the speedtouch doesnot work now, but that's the next problem to tackle. Now i start from a working situation. The steps will be:
1) make a copy of the standard security level of the ST780, so you can edit it
2) add a line in the portmap to map all ports not yet used to my Mac
3) define a service for all UDP ports to be used in the firewall rules
4)add a firewall rule, allowing traffic form any interface to any interface, or a little more strict from wan to lan and vice versa
I will let you know the results

It isn't a bug - setting up your Mac as a web server is easy. Connecting remotely is a little harder. A service like logmein makes it very easy but if you want to avoid third parties have a look at this article: http://lifehacker.com/software/feature/special-how-to-control-your-home-computer -from-anywhere-125607.php
I've used Chicken of the VNC on Tiger and it works well - connecting remotely is more of a challenge but isn't too hard.

  • Screen sharing and remote management no longer working after some uptime

    Server is withoiut monitor.
    Users need to login via screen sharing from time to time.
    "Enable screen sharing and remote management" is ticked in Server.app everything is working fine (for days, weeks).
    ARD reports "Screen Sharing Available", so remote management is not running how it should.
    Screen Sharing.app is "Connecting…" forever.
    Kickstarting ARD (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2370) does not help.
    Restart fixes it.
    Is there a workaround (over ssh) or a fix?

    Off-hand, no.   I don't.  See this posting, or as would be typical in any case, try it?

  • Screen Sharing and Remote Management

    Is there a way in 10.6 to make both Screen Sharing and Remote Management run at the same time?
    In the past (10.5), you could convince Mac OS to run both Screen Sharing and Remote Management to run simultaneously. I say "convince" because you could not enable them both through System Preferences. You could turn one on, then use Terminal to enable the other. This worked great for me, because I needed remote management for the machines I managed, and the users need screen sharing to work from home.
    However, the work-around for 10.5 no longer seems to work for 10.6. Has any one gotten this to work yet for 10.6? Thanks!

    I figured this out. First enable Remote Management via System Preferences. Then create /private/etc/ScreenSharing.launchd with 'enabled' as it's contents.

  • Screen Sharing and Remote Login suddenly stopped working

    I have had Screen Sharing and Remote Login turned on on my iMac for several weeks and they have been working fine up until now. I have been accessing the computer via VNC programs and command-line ssh logins from other computers on the same local network. When I tried to connect today, i was given the following error message.
    ssh: connect to host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 22: No route to host
    I have all of the required settings turned on in System preferences and there are no firewalls or router settings blocking it. I connected the two computers together via ethernet cable and the error message still occurred.
    I can ssh from the machine to 127.0.0.1, so the ssh server is running. I can ssh to other locations from the laptop i am attempting to connect with, so that's not the problem either. I just spent an hour on the phone with the apple tech support line and they couldn't figure anything out either. Can anybody figure something out?

    have you tried the obvious - restarting the computers involved and the router?

  • How can I display my ipad on a remote screen and charg it at the same time

    I need to display my ipad on a remote screen for 10+ hours a day so I need to be able to charge it at the same time. Is this possible?

    The best way to charge the iPad is with its included AC charger. If it is not doing something energy intensive, it can be charged and used at the same time and not deplete the battery, especially if services that are not being used are turned off.
    Can you share more about the situation or environment in which you want to employ the iPad and which model you want to use? The new iPad consumes more energy and takes longer to charge the battery than the iPad 2.

  • Difference between BAPI Function Module and Remote Enable Function Module

    Dear Experts,
        I want to know the main difference between BAPI Function Module and Remote Enable Function Module ?
    One main difference that I know is BAPI FM are declared in Methods of Business Object  ie BAPI are methods of BOR where as Remote Enabled FM are not. What are other differences? Is it possible to convert a Remote Enable FM to BAPI FM .
    regards
    Manish

    Hello,
    Did u create any ZBAPI?
    The Procdure for Creating the Customer BAPI is Create a Remote Enabled Function module and then goto the tcode BAPI.
    Once u go in to that just take the Project tab and enter the details.
    by this way u can create a Customer BAPI.

  • I am trying to restore my iPhone 5 and my screen is no longer able to use and there is a lock code on the phone, how do i restore the phone without having to use the phonne?

    how do i restore my iPhone with a lock code on the phone and the screen is completely unable to use?

    Forgotten Passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

  • Script to start and stop screen sharing

    ARD has four main components:
    1) ARD Helper
    2) ARD Agent & associated daemons
    3) ARD Menu Extra (controlled by the SystemUIServer)
    4) ARD Admin Console (if you have an Administrator license)
    What this script does:
    1) Any running ARD components will be stopped as needed. For example,
    they'll be stopped before an uninstall, reinstall, or restart
    request. They will not be restarted unless you specify the
    -restart options.
    2) Components will be restarted as required. For example, restarting
    the administrator console forces a restart of the agent.
    Restarting the agent, in turn, forces a restart of the helper.
    3) If you -uninstall but don't specify a new installer to run, then
    the -restart family of switches will be ignored.
    4) Options can be specified in any order, but remember that the
    options are ignored unless their parent options are specified. For
    example, -package is ignored unless -install is specified.
    RUNNING THIS SCRIPT FROM A GUI
    You can make yourself a GUI-based kickstarter program to run this
    script if you like. The options, set in the console, can be conveyed
    via environment variables to this script, per a spec shown in the
    source code for this script (or the traditional way using command-line
    switches). Be sure the console application runs this script with sudo
    privileges. The console should also specify its own location in the
    APP environment variable, and may specify the location of a
    STRINGS_FILE to use to load string definitions for any localizable
    messages produced by this script.
    A GUI console could stay up & running between runs of the script but
    should avoid running multiple instances of this script at the same
    time.
    WARNING
    This script can be used to grant very permissive incoming access
    permissions. Do not use the -activate and -configure features unless
    you know exactly what you're doing.

  • Memory and Remote Control Troubles Encore CS4

    Hi again After a week I have not seen any solution (or cause to my problem and hope perhaps someone will have some tips for me. So I copy my last new post and keep my fingers crossed! ( I think I read somewhere this is the way to go about - reposting)
    I just finished reading threads re memory problem with encore. Some from 2008! I'm using files I have created in PPcs4 with AVCHD clips exported as media to give me .avi files that I use to make a dvd in Encore. Usually it goes all well only for one thing my remote control end product does not work as it should at all, yes I still can play back the whole DVD and even go from one chapter to the next but not really choose and not with the menu on screen.
    So that is where the next trouble arises as I try to get the remote control in  the pannel preview to work. After only a few changes in the button routing trying the preview will get me the insufficient memory warning. It does not really crash, the preview may freeze but I can terminate it and try again. But from then on it's "go slow" to no where I read Bill H's entry about page filing and tried a few things I have 8gb ram so used one of my TB and allocated this x3 in virtual memory. I don't really understand what I'm doing, just tried to follow some instructions. but this did not make any difference at all. I also have asked my system (W7 4gb ram i5 intel and plenty of HD realestate) to optimise for best performance. So my Desktop is now looking a little pale! Still to no joy.
    My other trouble which seems related is this darn remote control. I can't get it working I used it in pp2 suite I can't quite remember how it was but it worked. Here in CS 4 all I can see is a slight highlight when I hover over it but it does not seem to respond. I've been to so many searches but none seem to respond to "enable preview remote control" or anything around this meaning. So as long as I can't use it in the pgr as long it will not be correct on my dvd!
    I have not used Mpg and can see my Audio timeline the same length as my Video
    I just imported such a file in a new project chose a preset menu (Before I used a blank menu and created buttons on a jpeg), made 3 chapters linked correctly (my Build /check did not return any error) but still unable to use the remote control, It's ok with the mouse till I try a little more and I get a memory problem.
    PS I always had a memory problem but not related to computers! I feel a little embarrassed that I have not been able to solve this after so much time spent on it and hope some one may have an answer. Thank you
    I have not been through defrag and turning everything else off as I worked in PP with nil such problem and thought I gave PP a harder job with my hd clips,  titles, added audio. Perhaps I'm quite wrong.
    I also remember reading about someone who's remote control would work ok on 4:3 ratio but not on wide, so I tried both to no avail in my case.
    Ok I'll go quiet
    PS: I also added that i did go through defrag and found it was not needed. as I suspected I had lots of room. (i5 8gb ram, 2X1tb hd external 1/2 tb )
    I'm aware and do appreciate that people who give help on forum are doing it on a voluntary basis using their own time and am very thankful for it.

    Thank you Stan. It's not going too well, first I tried to capture the screen (I have 2 monitors) and it gave me a lot of trouble unlike yesterday, (it kept capturing the wrong screen although Encore was the one activated) and  I ended with a black and white screen?
    Then my memory error became worse. I turned the internet off and lots of processes with no improvement. Anyway here is what I got about routing.I wonder why it's a gif image I saved it for the web. Actually these buttons weren't routed anymore and had a zero on most branches (arrows) - Hmm I can see "Sunpeak" with such zeros here! I don't know what happened but even "play All" was routed to "Banff" at the bottom right that is 1 to 2. before I took the screen shot. I might have to try with a conventional lay out menu button. This is difficult with all my memory crashes. I looked at quite a few threads to optimise but many relate more to AE that has a memory setting in Preferences. (actually, as a trial, I even allocated 5 gb ram for other application from AE that I don't even use, but to no avail)
    I definitely routed each button 1to 8 but here it's not anymore the way it was! And I'm sure I save it after doing so.
    I'll give it another go but not sure when.

  • Videochat and Screensharing working. but not with ONE person

    ok this is a tricky one. i have a mbp. my father has an imac and various friends have mbps or mbs.when i'm at my parents home ichat av between me and my father is no problem. (so far ok, because it is intern).both, my father and i are able to videochat with everyone from MY PARTENS HOME.
    when i'm back to my apartment, i can chat with everyone, except my father! now to the interesting part. if i ask a friend to start videochat and invite my father we're both in. so the problem basically is the connection between us. when someone other is host, there's no problem.
    i double checked my network connection and the network connection at my parents home. but i was always able to chat with everybody, but my father. when i was in holiday i had the exact same problem, just to stress out, that i'm not too stupid to set up the network/ports. in fact ichat av is currently working without even mapping a single port.
    so has anybody ever had a similar problem (i already contacted my apple retailer=never heard of something like this).
    to sum up: ichat av working in both homes without any problems. the only thing not working is the connection between my mbp and my fathers imac.
    thanks a lot

    Hi,
    On the first post I would have said it is about the way you routing device is doing NAT and your father's and your not liking the way the other is doing NAT
    See this older bit on my Web Pages http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/page15.html#CertainBuddy
    From there....
    (I am Presuming you are using your same Screen Name ?)
    Edit: see bottom first.
    I would cross check the port in iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Server setting tab on both the test Mac User and your normal Mac User account.
    Even if the Test Mac User account is using port 5190 then make sure the Normal Mac User account's iChat is.
    If 443 is the successful one try that.
    Also look at whether it is using the SSL option to login.
    I would also check System Preferences > Security > Firewall on both as a comparison.
    iChat only works if Allow All or Allow Specifics and iChat is added to the List (it is not considered and Essential)
    Then go to System Preferences > Network and see if the DNS servers are being shown on the Normal account when they are on the Test one.
    In the Normal Mac User's Account iChat check that in the Video menu the Camera Enabled item is ticked and that Screen Sharing is Allowed.
    The camera is enabled by default but might have got changed.
    As you wanted to Screen share you may have turned it on in the Test Mac User's iChat.
    Deleting the .plist com.apple.ichat.plist would have deleted any Screen Sharing setting in the Normal Mac User.
    Back to System Preferences > Network.
    Is there any chance that the two (Mac User)accounts are using different IPs from your Modem or router ?
    In System Preferences > Sharing on the Normal Account check that Internet Sharing is Off.
    On reviewing this post before posting this actually seems the most likely.

  • Procedure for creating transparent table, data element and domain

    Hi,
    Can anybody let me know the procedure for creating transparent table, data element and domain.
    Thanks,
    Mahathi

    Hi
    Database table and its components
    A database table is the central data structure of the ABAP/4 data dictionary.
    The structure of the objects of application development are mapped in tables on the underlying relational database.
    The attributes of these objects correspond to fields of the table.
    A table consists of columns (fields) and rows (entries). It has a name and different attributes, such as delivery class and maintenance authorization.
    A field has a unique name and attributes; for example it can be a key field.
    A table has one or more key fields, called the primary key.
    The values of these key fields uniquely identify a table entry.
    You must specify a reference table for fields containing a currency (data type CURR) or quantity (data type QUAN). It must contain a field (reference field) with the format for currency keys (data type CUKY) or the format for units (data type UNIT). The field is only assigned to the reference field at program runtime.
    The basic objects for defining data in the ABAP Dictionary are tables, data elements and domains. The domain is used for the technical definition of a table field (for example field type and length) and the data element is used for the semantic definition (for example short description).
    A domain describes the value range of a field. It is defined by its data type and length. The value range can be limited by specifying fixed values.
    A data element describes the meaning of a domain in a certain business context. It contains primarily the field help (F1 documentation) and the field labels in the screen.
    A field is not an independent object. It is table-dependent and can only be maintained within a table.
    You can enter the data type and number of places directly for a field. No data element is required in this case. Instead the data type and number of places is defined by specifying a direct type.
    The data type attributes of a data element can also be defined by specifying a built-in type, where the data type and number of places is entered directly.
    <b>Two Level Domain Example</b>
    A domain defines a field technically and therefore it may
    be used at different business levels.
    A data element describes the meaning of a domain in a certain business context.
    A domain, however, is used for the technical definition of a table field (for example field type and length).
    Therefore, although a take-off airport (data element S_FROMAIRP) would have a different business meaning from an airport where a plane lands (data element S_TOAIRP), they could still have the same domain(here S_AIRPID) because technically we could assign the same number of characters whether the airport is a take-off or a landing airport.
    <b>Definitions of Table in Database</b>
    In SAP R/3 tables are defined as
    A) Transparent tables: All of the fields of a dictionary table correspond to a field in the real database table.
    B) Pooled tables: Different tables which are not linked to each other with a common key are combined into a TABLE POOL. Several logical tables thus exist as a single real database table.
    C) Cluster tables: Several tables linked by a common key may sometimes be combined by the data dictionary and made to exist on the database schema as a single table.
    SAP is evolving R/3 tables in transparent tables.
    <b>Elaboration on each of the definitions</b>
    A transparent table is automatically created on the database when it is activated in the ABAP Dictionary. At this time the database-independent description of the table in the ABAP Dictionary is translated into the language of the database system used.
    The database table has the same name as the table in the ABAP Dictionary. The fields also have the same name in both the database and the ABAP Dictionary. The data types in the ABAP Dictionary are converted to the corresponding data types of the database system.
    The order of the fields in the ABAP Dictionary can differ from the order of the fields on the database. This permits you to insert new fields without having to convert the table. When a new field is added, the adjustment is made by changing the database catalog (ALTER TABLE). The new field is added to the database table, whatever the position of the new field in the ABAP Dictionary.
    Tables can also reside on the database as Pooled tables or cluster tables
    Pooled Tables: Different tables which are not linked to each other with a common key can be combined into a Table Pool. The tables contained within this pool are called Pooled Tables. A table pool is stored in the database a simple table. The table's data sets contain, in separate fields, the actual key for the data set to be stored, the name of the pooled table and the contents of the data set to be stored.
    Using this schema, several logical tables are combined into a single real database table. Although the data structure of each set is lost during the write to the table pool, it is restored during the read by the ABAP/4 Data Dictionary. The ABAP/4 Data Dictionary utilizes its meta-data to accomplish this.
    Since information must be prepared (defined) within the ABAP/4 Data Dictionary when it is read or written to (or accessed), this process itself defines these as not transparent tables
    Cluster Tables: Occasionally, several tables may be linked by a common key. The ABAP/4 Data Dictionary can also combine these tables into a single table. Each data set of the real table within the database contains a key and in a single data field, several data sets of the subsequent table for this key.
    As mentioned above, these table types require special data handling, therefore they are not transparent tables.
    <b>Technical Settings in Dictionary</b>
    The data class logically defines the physical area of the database (for ORACLE the table space) in which your table should be created. If you choose the data class correctly, the table will automatically be created in the appropriate area on the database when it is activated in the ABAP Dictionary.
    The most important data classes are master data, transaction data, organizational data and system data.
    Master data is data that is rarely modified. An example of master data is the data of an address file, for example the name, address and telephone number.
    Transaction data is data that is frequently modified. An example is the material stock of a warehouse, which can change after each purchase order.
    Organizational data is data that is defined during customizing when the system is installed and that is rarely modified thereafter. The country keys are an example.
    System data is data that the R/3 System itself needs. The program sources are an example.
    Further data classes, called customer data classes (USER, USER1), are provided for customers. These should be used for customer developments. Special storage areas must be allocated in the database.
    The size category describes the expected storage requirements for the table on the database.
    An initial extent is reserved when a table is created on the database. The size of the initial extent is identical for all size categories. If the table needs more space for data at a later time, extents are added. These additional extents have a fixed size that is determined by the size category specified in the ABAP Dictionary.
    You can choose a size category from 0 to 4. A fixed extent size, which depends on the database system used, is assigned to each category.
    Correctly assigning a size category therefore ensures that you do not create a large number of small extents. It also prevents storage space from being wasted when creating extents that are too large.
    Modifications to the entries of a table can be recorded and stored using logging.
    To activate logging, the corresponding field must be selected in the technical settings. Logging, however, only will take place if the R/3 System was started with a profile containing parameter 'rec/client'. Only selecting the flag in the ABAP Dictionary is not sufficient to trigger logging.
    Parameter 'rec/client' can have the following settings:
    rec/client = ALL All clients should be logged.
    rec/client = 000[...] Only the specified clients should be logged.
    rec/client = OFF Logging is not enabled on this system.
    The data modifications are logged independently of the update. The logs can be displayed with the Transaction Table History (SCU3).
    Logging creates a 'bottleneck' in the system:
    Additional write access for each modification to tables being logged.
    This can result in lock situations although the users are accessing different application tables!
    <b>Create transparent table</b>
    Go to transaction SE11. Enter name of table you want to create (beginning with Y or Z) and click on create pushbutton
    Enter the delivery class and the table maintenance criteria
    The delivery class controls the transport of table data when installing or upgrading, in a client copy and when transporting between customer systems .
    The display/maintenance indicator specifies whether it is possible to display/maintain a table/view using the maintenance tools Data Browser (transaction SE16) and table view maintenance (transactions SM30 and SM31).
    Enter the name of the table field and the data element. The
    System automatically populates the technical details for
    existing data elements.
    So far as possible it is advisable to use existing data elements which befit the business requirements.
    However, we may create data elements if need be. The same is shown in the next slide.
    To create a data element simply double click on it.
    Alternately create a data element by simply choosing the
    data type radio button on SE11 initial screen.
    <b>Create data element</b>
    The system prompts you to create a new data element.
    Choose the Yes pushbutton.
    Under the data type tab enter the domain name which
    determines the technical characteristics of the field.
    Further characteristics tab: Allows you to specify a search help assigned to the data element.
    It also allows you to specify a parameter id which helps you populate a field from SAP memory.
    Field label: Can be assigned as prefixed text to a screen field referring to the ABAP Dictionary. The text is displayed on the screen in the logon language of the user (if the text was translated into this language).
    <b>Create domain</b>
    If the domain does not exist in the data dictionary the
    system prompts you to create one.
    Give the technical characteristics under the definition
    tab. Value range allows you value restriction at domain
    level.
    Value range tab:
    As explained in the section Consistency through input checks one can restrict the possible values for a field at domain level itself by either entering fixed values or by specifying a value table under the tab Value range.
    <b>Currency/Quantity fields in a table</b>
    A currency or a quantity field must be assigned a reference field from a reference table containing applicable qty unit or currency unit.
    Field of the reference table, containing the applicable quantity unit or currency
    A field containing currency amounts (data type CURR) must be assigned a reference field including the currency key (data type CUKY).
    A field containing quantity specifications (data type QUAN) must be assigned a reference field including the associated quantity unit (data type UNIT).

  • Remote System and Remote Key Mapping at a glance

    Hi,
    I want to discuss the concept of Remote System and Remote Key Mapping.
    Remote System is a logical system which is defined in MDM Console for a MDM Repository.
    We can define key mapping enabled at each table level.
    The key mapping is used to distinguish records at Data Manager after running the Data Import.
    Now 1 record can have 1 remote system with two different keys but two different records cannot have same remote system with same remote key. So, Remote key is an unique identifier for record for any remote system for each individual records.
    Now whenever we import data from a Remote System, the remote system and remote key are mapped for each individual records. Usually all records have different remote keys.
    Now, when syndicating back the record with default remote key is updated in the remote system that is sent by xml file format.
    If same record is updated two times from a same remote system, the remote key will be different and the record which is latest contains highest remote key.
    Now, I have to look at Data Syndication and Remote key.
    I have not done Data Syndication but my concept tell if there is duplicate record with same remote system but different remote keys both will be syndicated back. But if same record have two remote keys for same remote system then only the default remote key is syndicated back.
    Regards
    Kaushik Banerjee

    You are right Kaushik,
    I have not done Data Syndication but my concept tell if there is duplicate record with same remote system but different remote keys both will be syndicated back.
    Yes, but if they are duplicate, they needs to be merged.
    But if same record have two remote keys for same remote system then only the default remote key is syndicated back.
    This is after merging. So whichever remote key has tick mark in key mapping option(default) , it will be syndicated back.
    Pls refer to these links for better understanding.

  • Search for [Remote Key] and [Remote System] in Data Manager

    Hello all
    I would like to be able to search on the remote key and the remote system in the MDM Data Manager is that not possible? I thought I remembered seeing that possibility under the Free-Form Search but now I can't find it.
    I have, however, found this in the Data Manager reference guide:
    REMOTE SYSTEM AND REMOTE KEY FIELDS
    MDM uses the remote systems defined in the Remote Systems table
    within the MDM Console to store and maintain key mapping information
    for each record or text attribute. It does this using a virtual “key
    mapping” field that you never see in the MDM Client.
    This virtual key mapping field is very much like a qualified lookup field
    into a virtual key mapping qualified lookup table.
    Key Mapping information stored in virtual lookup field
    The Remote System and Remote Key fields are normally not visible;
    however, they do appear in several places in the MDM Client.
    Specifically, both fields: (1) appear in the File > Export dialogs in Record
    mode for exporting value pairs; (2) are recognized by the File > Import
    dialog in Record mode for importing value pairs; and (3) appear in the
    Edit Key Mappings dialogs in both Record mode and Taxonomy mode,
    for viewing and editing value pairs.
    Is there any way to search on the value in the remote key from the Data Manager?

    Not sure search i think not possible.
    But you can see keys as mentioned:
    Enable Key mapping in Console.
    MDM Client maens MDM Data Manager.
    They do appear in several places in the MDM Client or Data Manager. Three different methods to see in DM are given already below:
    Specifically, both fields: (1) appear in the File > Export dialogs in Record mode for exporting value pairs; (2) are recognized by the File > Import dialog in Record mode for importing value pairs; and (3) appear in the Edit Key Mappings dialogs in both Record mode and Taxonomy mode, for viewing and editing value pairs.
