27. Go to C:\program files\hostexplorer.nt\user\hostex\profile\3270 and select HIS.hep
28. Create a Shortcut of HIS.hep and move it to All User\Desktop (also recommended to place it in the Start Menu under Programs).
IMPORTANT: Before loading the new version of HostEx, launch HIS in the old version. At the Top right part of the Emulator screen should be a heading "Port: TH1Lxxxx". That is necessary for printing. Record it, and after then install, open HIS. Go to Options -> Edit Session Profile. Then in the Session Profile window in the Settings Group area, open Session and select Host. In the right hand area, the fourth field down is for LU Name, put the TH1Lxxxx number in there. Select OK, then go to File, Save Session Profile, and select OK. If you want, you can then Disconnect and re Connect under the file menu to make sure the LU took. (It will pop up at the top right hand corner of the window).

To get the older version of IDX: It's excatly the same as setting up a shortcut for HIS, except that it is in the VT folder instead of the 3270 folder.
