IBM Professional Series - Controlling Your Display; Highlighting Your Input; Scrolling a Half Screen; Displaying Long Lines

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.
