SET SL
(SL)
Sets the single-line (SL) command editor.
Format
SET SL condition
Description
The command-line editor enables you to edit, store, recall, and manipulate command
lines. With this editor, you can:
• Edit a command line with keypad functionality.
• Use the RECALL command and arrow keys to recall previous commands.
• Save and restore commands in the sequence you want.
See the Introduction to RT–11 for a tutorial explanation of how to use the single-
line command editor and for a description of its major functions. Type HELP SL or
HELP RECALL for on-line help descriptions.
Note
Changes you make with the SET SL command are permanent. This means, for
example, if you SET SL LET and then reboot your computer, the LET utility is still
enabled. See the description of the SET command for further information about
permanent and temporary SET commands.
Condition
ASK
Allows the single-line editor to determine the type of terminal you are using, so
SL can use the proper escape sequences. SL displays on the terminal the type of
console you are using and the type of support SL will provide for that terminal.
If SL does not support the terminal you are using, SL displays an error message.
[NO]KED
KED turns on keypad editing functionality. In keypad mode, you use the keypad
to edit the command line as you would use the keypad with the KED editor.
Keypad editing also allows you to recall a cycle of commands in the sequence you
specify. Keypad editing is available under all RT–11 monitors.
NOKED, the default, turns off keypad editing.
KMON
Enables use of SL by KMON but not by user programs. SET SL KMON sets SL
to edit only a monitor command line; that is, input following the monitor prompt
