1852.0. "TDE editing" by KERNEL::SALMONJ (Jason Salmon) Wed Nov 25 1992 15:50

 Hello,
 I have a customer with a query about the following statement in the ALL-IN-1 
 WPS-PLUS User's Reference guide :

 On page 5-25 under Restrictions on Diagram Editing  it says :

  o If you are using the Two-Dimensional Editor on a DECstation workstation,
    your DECwindows screen size must be set to a value between 24 and 54.


  I've tried on both a Vaxstation 3100 and a DECstation 3100 to try and use the
  TDE with the window resized to 48 lines ( which is what the customer wants).
  All I get is half the window being used.
  I can create "pictures" that are more than 24 lines long by joining two or
  more together but still can't display any more lines. 

  Are we misinterpreting the documentation in some way ?

  Jason.

1852.1	What is OA$TERMINAL_PAGE?	IOSG::NEWLAND	Richard Newland, IOSG, REO1-D/4A	`Wed Nov 25 1992 16:48`	15
	Does the normal WPS-PLUS editor use 48 lines, and only the Two-Dimensional Editor use 24 lines? Do other parts of ALL-IN-1 such as LIST use 24 or 48 lines? I've often found with DECterm windows that the VMS terminal characteristics information is out of step with the DECterm information. If you do a $ SHOW TERMINAL what is the terminal page size? ALL-IN-1 uses this information to determine the size of the terminal. The ALL-IN-1 symbol OA$TERMINAL_PAGE also contains the terminal page length so do a '<GET OA$TERMINAL_PAGE' to check its value.

	Thanks for the info, We found that if you do set term/page=48 before going into ALL-IN-1 and then go into the TDE you can have a 48 line picture. Jason.

	The WPS-PLUS found in ALL-IN-1 V3.0 allows TDE pictures even longer. You can draw part of the picture, close it, scroll down and re-open it, and your TDE picture will be bigger than fits on the screen. A selling point to get them to upgrade? Regards, Paul
