2375.0. "Redirect SYS$OUTPUT( RMS output etc. ) into a scroll widget" by CERN::EJM () Wed Feb 28 1990 10:40

Does anyone know how to take normal output and send it to a scroll widget??
That is, I would like to set up something at the beginning of my program that
redirects SYS$OUTPUT so that all fprint and LIB$PUTMSG etc. commands go to that 
window instead of, for example, DECterm.

I suppose the relevant question is how does DECterm or the Session Manager
do it???  They both provide the exact functionality I need.

2375.1	DECterm widget, maybe	HANNAH::MESSENGER	Bob Messenger	`Wed Feb 28 1990 12:28`	11
	Re: .0 DECterm includes a "DECterm widget" that includes scroll bars and lines saved off the top. One possibility is that you could use the DECterm widget (which is supported for use by layered products but isn't documented for customer use). You could also use the DECwTermPort routine to create a DECterm window, which your program could read and write to through a TWAn: device. This wouldn't give you as much control over the size and position of the window, though. -- Bob

	Thanks for the pointer. The example is basically exactly what I need. John
