The High-Level Screen Management Intrinsic Library
The High-Level Screen Management Intrinsic Library (Hi-Li) comprises a
number of callable procedures that link your application to HP's screen
management facility. The screen management facility controls the
transfer of information between an application and the screen at run
time
by providing an interface with the system-level input and output (I/O)
operations. Figure 1-1 illustrates the relationship between Hi-Li, the
application, and the terminal with its I/O operations.
