I'm running DECwindows V2 on VMS 5.3 and I've noticed a few glitches
that weren't around before. When adjusting the color intensity levels
on window customization for the session manager, what you click - you
don't always get. For example, if you've selected an intensity of 51
and click ok, then come back - you now have 50.
Another issue is the Host Status Display line. I have it set and all
windows come up with it, but if you get into Display from Customize for
that window the Host Status Display is not marked as selected. I use
the status line to display current node and directory information or at
least I used to. Now, the .com procedure that puts the information
down there using escape sequences no longer works. ESC[1$} to
bring you down and ESC[0$} to bring you back.
Any help would be appreciated.

That's a known bug, and it should be harmless. > I use > the status line to display current node and directory information or at > least I used to.

The status line is visible, isn't it? What happens when you use the escape sequences? Try sending ESC[2$~ to explicitly enable the status line. -- Bob | |||||

I can see the status line but when I do the WRITE I don't see anything
on the status line nor in the window. I also tried the ESC[2$~ but it
didn't help.
Here is my procedure:
!
! Displays information on the status line
!
$ NODE = F$GETSYI("NODENAME")
$ WD = F$ENVIRONMENT("DEFAULT")
! Position the cursor to the status line, delete line, bold prompts
! write info, go back to main display
$ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT "[1$}[1M[1mNode:[0m ''NODE' " + -
"[1mDir:[0m ''WD' " + -
"[0$}"

The non-working status line happens to us here too. I've QAR'ed it.

Re: .2 Well, your procedure worked when I tried it. I don't know what could be going wrong when you run it. -- Bob | |||||
