SETUP
A different form of the SETUP ANSWERBACK command must be used if you
want the message in lowercase letters, or if you want to embed returns in the
message. Let SETUP prompt for input by typing:
.SETUP
RET
Characteristics?: ANSWERBACK:/message/
You can use lowercase letters and embed returns in your message. The message
is read until the final delimiter (/) is reached, regardless of returns.
[NO]BCD
(Valid for Professional 300 series processors only) BCD (binary coded decimal)
converts the contents of the time-of-year clock to BCD and puts the clock in BCD
mode.
NOBCD converts the contents of the time-of-year clock to binary, and puts the
clock in binary mode.
BLOCK
(Valid for Professional 300 series terminals only) Sets the cursor as a blinking
block ([]) on your screen. This is the default.
[NO]BOLD
BOLD bolds the characters displayed on your terminal screen or printer. BOLD
cannot be coupled with SETUP MEMO.
When you set NOBOLD and the destination is TERMINAL, bolding and
underlining (if turned on) are turned off. If you want to keep underlining, you
must reissue the SETUP UNDERLINE command.
When you set NOBOLD, and the destination is PRINTER, only bolding is turned
off. NOBOLD is the default.
CAPS
(Valid for Professional terminals only) Enables the
LOCK
key to enter all letters
as uppercase. This is the default. In this mode, the
LOCK
key serves the same
function as the
CAPS LOCK
key on the VT100 series.
CLEAR
Clears the screen, executes a Shift In (SI) function, and performs the Digital
standard SOFT RESET.
The SI function moves the G0 (7-bit ASCII) graphic character set into the ASCII
code table. That procedure makes sure the video or hard-copy terminal or
printer is placed in ASCII standard text mode after receiving a SETUP CLEAR
command.
The Digital standard SOFT RESET:
• Sets the current rendition to NORMAL.
• Resets scrolling margins to 1 and 24.
