I would like to revert to the terminal page size I had before running
EDT. When my EDIT.COM does a $SET TERMINAL /PAGE=24 before invoking
the editor, my window slips up a notch. So I have to go to the
'Commands' pull down menu and click on 'Clear lines off top'.
What escape code is required to get this done ?
Where is it documented ?

You need the "set scrolling region" sequence, but I usually just
type SHOW CLUSTER and that does it for me.

You could always use EVE. Tell DCL to EDIT/TPU, press the DO key, type
set keypad edt, and away you go. EVE will use the full terminal,
meaning that your terminal never changes size, thus you need not change
it back to its original size.

The following is the modified version of VTSET.COM file which set's
the proper terminal attribute (set terminal/page=nn/width=mm) and
also it set's the proper scrolling (using escape sequences).
Usage: $vtset [<page_size>] [<width>]
e.g $vtset 39
This will set the screen to 39 line hight.
OR
If you are concerned about scrolling problem only then the
following command will fix it too.
$type/page nl:
This will set the proper scrolling given that your terminal(show term)
characteristcs are correct.

The problem is that EVE/TPU take forever to start up compared to EDT.
This can be especially annoying when you want to do a REPLY/EXTR/EDIT
from MAIL, or add a line to a DCL procedure. TPU makes you pay for a
lot of freight even if you just want to send an ovenight letter.

Oh yea, there isn't an "a", is there? :-) Yea, that's true John but I still think the advantages outweigh the disadvantage. mike | |||||
