completed. If no tools are running, it indicates the status of the last tool that was run.
Last Operation Status Field Width
The "Last Operation Status Field Width" field allows you to specify how many characters are to be used to
display operation status/percentage of test completed in the line oriented maps. An additional space, not
counted in the field width, is used to separate fields. In all line oriented maps, you can leave more room on
the line for other items by eliminating an item from the map, or by restricting its width.
Percent Complete Scale (mstm only)
Select this checkbox to display a graphic (scale) representation of forward test progress; i.e., to display the
percentage of the test which has already completed.

General Options
Use this function to configure the following mstm options:
The "Queries are Displayed Immediately" checkbox controls the behavior of queries. When a non-
interactive support tool attempts to display a query, the question will be presented to you immediately,
provided the checkbox is set. If the checkbox is not set, the status is changed to "Query Pending", but
mstm does not automatically display the query.
See also Display Query.
The "Cstm Pager" field allows you to specify a program to be used to control the output of the "map",
"help", and log viewing functions to the terminal. If this field is blank, the output is written to the terminal
or other output device without interruptions. If used from a terminal, however, the output may scroll
beyond the top of the terminal. In such a case, you may want to specify that the "Cstm Pager" be "more".
The default state is "more -d". This option has no effect on mstm behavior.
The "Printers" list box shows the different printers configured on the system on which mstm is being run.
The printer which is selected when "OK" is hit is the one which will be the default printer for subsequent
print operations. The default printer is the system default printer.
The "Tool Developer Launch Options" checkbox permits access to an additional tool options screen to
assist tool developers in debugging and testing tools developed for mstm.
See also Launch Options.
