WYSE Settings - Display Display Page

You can use the options in the Display page to control the appearance of your terminal screen. Many of these options correspond to the options available on the WYSE terminal; others are specific to Extra!.

You can change the WYSE page width, page size, and the rate of scrolling.

Table 3-53 WYSE Display Page Options

Setting

Description

80, 132, Economy 80

When 80 is selected, enough memory for 132 columns is allocated. This is useful if you don't want to clear the screen when changing from 80 to 132 columns.

When Economy 80 is selected, no additional memory is allocated. The screen is always cleared when the host switches in/out of Economy 80 mode. Economy 80 also affects the available number of pages.

Clear Screen On Change

When selected, the screen is cleared when the host changes the number of columns.

Lines

Select the number of lines on the terminal screen:

  • 24 data lines, status line, label line

  • 25 data lines, status line

  • 42 data lines, status line, label line

  • 43 data lines, status line

In 25- or 43-line mode, commands to display function key labels or a label line message are ignored.

Page Size

This value (1, 2, or 4) multiplied by the value in Lines determines the length of a page in display memory.

The value "* Lines" means that the first page has the number of lines given in Lines, and the second page has as many lines as there is available memory.

Columns

Specify in which column(s) you want to set tab stops. The default is 8-column intervals.

Reset To Default

Reset tab stops to the default of 8-column intervals.

Show

Display the cursor.

Block

Display the cursor as a block, not an underline.

Blink

If selected, indicates that you want to make the cursor blink.

Show Control Characters

If enabled, display received control codes and ESC sequences as symbols, rather than executing them.

Inverse Screen

Reverses the foreground and background colors for normal text.

Scroll Speed

Move the slider to select a scrolling speed. If data arrives faster than it can be displayed, the window is rewritten only after a number of lines are received (jump scrolling).
