INTRINSIC DESCRIPTIONS
but the code is set up to do so.
• Screen images cannot be scaled; fonts come in one size only.
• The maximum TDP record size is 168 characters. A single line in a screen may easily
exceed this limit if it contains may escape sequences, in which case the line may be
truncated.
• TDP macros 5-9 are used to minimize truncation, but some screens will reach the limit
anyway. If you use your own macros 5-9, some inconsistencies may appear when text
and screens ar merged.
• TDP may indicate that errors have occurred when, in fact, there are none. The most
common error messages are: "Unrecognizable command" and "n characters have been
truncated".
