Configuring the Terminal
Except when the cursor is positioned in the fields labeled ttRETURN Def", ttFldSeparator",
ttStart Column", ttPrinterNulls", or uBlkTermnator", the alphanumeric keys are disabled
and you select the desired parameters using the NEXT CHO I CE and PREV I OUS CHO I CE function
keys.
The meanings of the various fields are described in table 3-3.

FIELD
Bell
Cursor Type
Tab=Spaces
FUNCTION
This field specifies whether the terminal's bell speaker is
enabled or disabled. When disabled, the bell tone, automati-
cally generated by the terminal when the cursor approaches
the right margin, is disabled.
On : bell enabled
Off: bell disabled
Default = On
This field specifies whether the cursor is displayed as an
underscore or a box.
Line: cursor appears as an underscore
Box: cursor
appears as a box
Default=Li ne
When
this feature is enabled, pressing the _ key generates
the number ofASCII space codes required to move the cursor
forward to the next tab stop. If no tab stops exist between the
current cursor position and the end of the line, the bell sounds
and no spaces are generated. Similarly, pressing the _ key
generates the number ofASCII backspace codes required to
move
the cursor backward to the preceding tab stop (if the
cursor is already located at the left margin when the backtab
is attempted, the bell sounds and no backspaces are
generated).
Note
that when operating in Local mode this function actually
changes data characters within the workspace to spaces. In
Remote mode, the spaces are transmitted over the datacomm
port and the data characters within the workspace are not
changed unless the spaces are echoed back (either locally or
from the host computer).
