Syntax

][,
color
][,
264x
][,
307x
]
Parameters
262xand239x
Configure forms file for the HP 262X and HP'239X terminal families; also
includes the HP 150.
color
Configure forms file for color terminals.
264x
Configure forms file for the HP 264X terminal family. Specifying yes (the
value Y or y) enables function key labeling.
307x
Configure forms file for the data capture device family. Specifying eight
(the value 8) enables support of the extended features of the HP 3081A.
Discussion
The parameters may be any valid non-blank character to select the terminal family. Only
the first character of each parameter is processed (the rest is treated as command
documentation).
At least one parameter must be specified. Providing a USASCII blank as the specification
for a given device/terminal family does not change the existing specification. Specifying
$EMPTY clears an existing specification.
