WYSE Pages

The WYSE terminal has an area called page memory, containing a number of lines that can be divided into separate pages. Typically, the host sends control sequences to configure the number of lines and page size. On the Settings Display page, you can select the number of lines that are visible on the terminal screen: 24, 25, 42, or 43. You can also select the size of each page to be the same as the number of visible lines, or to twice or four times that number. Another selection gives one page that has the same number of lines as are visible on the terminal screen, and a second page that uses all the remaining page memory. By default, the display font is automatically scaled, so that whatever size you make your window, the entire terminal screen is visible within the window. However, if you select a fixed font size, the WYSE terminal screen may be larger than your window size, and you may need to use the horizontal and vertical scroll bars to move around the terminal screen. The host generally selects the active page, and viewed page. However, you can press CTRL+KEYPAD 0 to view page 0, CTRL+KEYPAD 1 to view page 1, and so on, up to page 5.

To change the WYSE page size

  1. In a WYSE session, from the Options menu, choose Settings.

  2. Under Categories, choose Display.

  3. On the Display page under Lines, select the number of lines to have visible in the terminal screen. (You may need to use the vertical scroll bar to see the entire terminal screen.)

  4. Under Page Size, select how to divide the WYSE page memory into pages.

Table 59

Select this setting

To indicate that

1

Each page should contain the same number of lines as the terminal screen.

2

Each page should contain twice as many lines as the terminal screen.

4

Each page should contain four times as many lines as the terminal screen.

* Lines

The first page that has the same number of lines visible in the terminal screen, and the second page has as many lines as there is remaining page memory.

NOTE:If you select 25 or 43 lines, commands to display function key labels or a label line message are ignored. If you change the page size, the host can override your selection, if necessary.

To change the WYSE page width

  1. In a WYSE session, from the Options menu, choose Settings.

  2. Under Categories, choose Display.

  3. On the Display page under Columns, select 80, 132, or Economy 80.

    NOTE:On a WYSE terminal, the Economy 80 setting makes more pages available than the 80 setting. When you select or clear Economy 80, the screen is cleared.

    Changing between 80 and 132 does not clear the screen, unless Clear Screen On Change is selected.

To limit the rate of scrolling in a WYSE session

  1. In a WYSE session, from the Options menu, choose Settings.

  2. Under Categories, choose Display.

  3. On the Advanced page, ensure that Auto Scroll is selected, and that Auto Page is cleared.

  4. On the Display page under Scroll Speed, use the slider to select a speed.

    NOTE:If you select a slow scrolling speed and data arrives faster than it can be displayed, the window is re-written only after a certain portion of the window has changed. No data is lost, only the line-by-line scrolling is omitted to save time.

To display control characters in a WYSE session

  1. In a WYSE session, from the Options menu, choose Settings.
