For some reason or another, whenever DECterm starts on my system,
it comes up with tiny fonts. I've figured out how to change that from
the "Customize" menu. I've also figured out how to get a 36 line
terminal window.
EVE and LSEDIT similarly come up with a window of 24 linies of
eye-aching michrofiche sized text. Can someone tell me how I might
change that? What I'd really like to do is set that up initially, so
that when I start one of them from the Autostart menu, it will come up
with a large screen with readable text.
I know absolutely nothing about DECwindows; everything I've just
implied that I'm familiar with has been derived by poking around. I
just started with DEC and with DECwindows. At my last job, I enjoyed
long lunch hours waiting for MMS to build .EXEs on our deluxe 750 via
VT-220 terminials.

You can define a new application via the Session Manager Customize Application Definitions function. See HELP CREATE /TERMINAL for how to customize each DECterm's appearance. Add the definition and then add it to AutoStart and/or the Applications Menu. Paul | |||||

That's okay for setting up a DECterm, but what about modifying the
window characteristics when using the EVE application, via the DCL
command "EDIT/TPU/DISPLAY=DECWINDOWS"? I want to get the fancy scroll
bars around EVE's editing windows.
Thanks! - Jerry Oberle

| 3640.3 | What section file are you using? | EVETPU::REINIG | This too shall change | Mon Nov 26 1990 15:41 | 6 |
DECwindows EVE gives you scroll bars. What are fancy scroll bars?
In general, there is no way to change DECwindows EVE characteristics,
though you can always use the unsupported .DAT files.
