1545.0. "Pause Message?" by PARZVL::KENNEDY (MaryEllen - DTE) Mon Oct 09 1989 11:22

Seems like this is the apropriate conference for this question.  Anyone know
how to set the pause message?

    I was fooling around with FileView, and brought up a window which
    appeared to be named "Pause Message."  It looked like a DCL command
    window, had a prompt of "Message:"  I filled it in, and now the
    message appears in my Pause Session Window.
    
    The problem is, I can't figure out how I got to the Pause Message,
    can't find it in any menu, etc.  Can anyone confirm that this is a
    FileView option - and how you activate it (my message was "Out to
    lunch" and I'd like to change it when I go home at night).
    
    Help About gives this version info:
    	VMS DECwindows FileView
    	Software Version: VMS Version 5.1

    I think you must have gotten this box from the Session Manager's
    Customize menu somehow. FileView has no relationship with the Pause
    window.

    One of the Session Manager's customize menus in DECwindows V2
    provides this.

Unfortunately, I'm not running V2 yet.  I did get that window up once, though...

Under V1 you can do the following:
Create (if it does not already exist)
SYS$LOGIN:DECW$XDEFAULTS.DAT  
With a text editor, and include the line:

*PauseDialog.PauseLabel.label:  This "Fish Tank" Is Hermetically Sealed

Or whatever other text you want there.
