2861.0. "How to turn off DECterm blink " by PRAVDA::JACKSON (Niche, or be niched) Mon Jun 04 1990 12:58

How does one turn off the cursor blink in a DECterm (VMS)


The cursor blinking is causing significant load on our host system when
using VAXeln based window terminals with many DECterms on them.

    On VMS, I've just used a non documented resource , by creating a
    file  DECW$LOGIN.DAT with the line :
    	*blinkRate :    0 
        
    I don't know how VAXELN defines and uses this resource,
    			Hope this help,

    Since he's running DECterm on VMS and only using VAXELN as the display,
    VAXELN has nothing to do with resource names in DECW$LOGIN.DAT. DECterm
    really doesn't care who the server is. Resources will be the same.
