Fields

The Control screen lets you conﬁgure the following information:

• Initial echo. Echo allows terminal input to be echoed back to the

terminal by the computer as it is received. This ﬁeld lets you turn

initial echo on or off. The value entered takes effect whenever the

terminal type is used. It occurs at speed sense or FOPEN time for the

default terminal type or when the terminal type is changed through

the FCONTROL intrinsic.

NOTE There are applications that depend on echo being off. For these

applications to function correctly, the program needs to ﬁrst select the

terminal type ﬁle desired and then set echo.
