Controlling Your Display
VM/PC
has several options on the
CP
TERMINAL
command you can use to control what
is
seen on your
display. These options are HILIGHT,
PA2, and WRAP.
"TERMINAL"
on
page 7-48 contains a description
of
the
TERMINAL command and all its options.
Highlighting Your Input
Specify TERMINAL HILIGHT
ON
if you want all input
from the keyboard to be highlighted
on
the display. You can
do this to help you identify the commands you typed among
all that
is
displayed.
Scrolling a
Half
Screen
Specify TERMINAL PA2
HALF
if you want
VM/PC
to
scroll the display forward one-half screen when you press
P
A2
with the cursor in the input area.
If
you do this without
specifying this command,
VM/PC
scrolls the screen forward
one full screen.
If
you press P A2 while the cursor is
on
a displayed line,
VM/PC
will scroll that line to the top of the display screen.
Remember that for
VM/PC
the P
A2
key is emulated by
pressing the Alt and
F2
keys.
Displaying Long Lines
Specify TERMINAL WRAP
OFF
if you want
VM/PC
to
display each input line on a display screen line. With this
option, lines that are longer than a screen line will be cut off
at the right edge of the screen.
VM/PC
will put
an
ellipsis
( ... )
on
the end of the displayed portion of such lines to
indicate that there
is
information
not
displayed. You can use
the
Land
R commands in the scrolling area
to
see the rest
of
these lines.
If
you do
not
specify TERMINAL WRAP
OFF,
any part
of
a input line longer than a screen line will be "wrapped
around" and displayed
on
the following line.
