487.0. "Disabling up/down arrow keys" by BRAT::SHEPARD (a.k.a. Spazzo Caffinelli) Thu Jun 04 1987 16:57

    
   	Is there any way to disable the ability to RECALL commands?
    	I'm primarily interested in disabling the up/down arrow 
    	functions.  
    
    	(Please don't ask why... it's a long story.)

487.1try SET TERM/no lineSNEAKY::KERRISKMidnight Hacker!!!!!Thu Jun 04 1987 20:154
	Try SET TERM/NO LINE EDIT.  I think this will disable recall.

487.2CAFEIN::PFAUNow where did I leave my marbles?Thu Jun 04 1987 21:313
Nope.  Just makes it so you can't edit the line once it's been recalled.

On any terminal, even with /noline_edit, ^B will recall the lines.

487.4CHOVAX::YOUNGBack from the Shadows Again,Fri Jun 05 1987 01:033
    I believe that Logical or Physical access implicitly disables recall,
    etc.  There doesn't seem to be a terminal attribute that does this
    however.
487.5ALBANY::KOZAKIEWICZYou can call me Al...Fri Jun 05 1987 12:365
What is the purpose?? If what you need is to "gain access" to the arrow
keys from an application, the SET TERM/NOLINE_EDIT will do the trick. If
you are trying to play some DCL games, I don't know if there is a way to
disable the recall.

487.6How about clear the recall buffer ?ANYWAY::WOLFFI feel the need, the need for speedSat Jun 06 1987 14:136
    there is no way to disable the command recall, however I
    have once stoen somewhere a program which clears the recall buffer
    if this will help you let me know.

487.7End run around ^B?TONTO::SCHRADERWed Jun 10 1987 14:327
	How about a SET TERM/NOLINE_EDIT combined with
	the AST program (from another note) which toggles the
	process verify bit, modified to convert ^Bs to do
	nothings (or whatever).
