| Steve,
Excellent question and thanks for pointing out the flaw in the
documentation. The answer is
We will search in the following order:
CONSOLE$USER_DEFAULTS:
SYS$LOGIN:
Current directory

Suggestion...perhaps it should be the other way around. If a site has a
common CONSOLE$MONITOR_INIT.DAT file in CONSOLE$USER_DEFAULTS, if
SYS$LOGIN was search first, then an individual, and boy there are lots
of them, could have his/her own init file.

| And you still can have your own. Define CONSOLE$USER_DEFAULTS
to SYS$LOGIN or you may use the /INIT qualifier to specify
the init file you want.
I do like your search order best though. What we have to think about is
impact to the customers that are used to the current search order.
What we could do pretty easily is implement a logical that would
allow the search order to be changed and leave the default search order
as it is. Hmmmmmmm.....

Further onto this note, could you tell me if you are using an
initialization script would you expect the keys defined within this
file to be picked up when using the console monitor via the C3
interface?
Thanks

Does this work ?
I have created SYS$LOGIN:CONSOLE$MONITOR_INIT.DAT and it contains the
single line...
SET EXIT_KEY CTRL_K
If I issue a connect via "$ console connect blah", then the exit key is
correctly defined as control-k, but if I then fire up C3 and connect to
blah, it has the exit key set up as control-e.
This is V1.6-302

| Well Ross,
Someone else asked me this question last Friday as they have the same
behavior you do. I went into the C3 code and lo and behold the /NOINIT
qualifier is specified so what we are experiencing is intended
behavior. The only reason I can think of for doing that is thaat
MONITOR interfaces created from the C3 are MONITORing a single
system and the init file could contain commands that don't apply
to that system.
At least we know.
Regards,
Dan

� ...what we are experiencing is intended behavior
ah... that's a bit of a pain. I have a user who wishes to keep his VMS
ctrl-e processing (goto end of line) whereas all the other users would,
I presume, be happy with the PCM ctrl-e handling.
I think its a bug really. The C3 interface should handle an initialisation
file. Of course, it would be interesting to see which has precedence,
the initialisation file, or the C3 definition for the control keys.
Thanks again,
Ross

Ross,
What the C3 does is just SPAWN a decterm giving it a command of
CONSOLE MONITOR /BREAK=whatever etc.
The command-line qualifier takes precendence over the init file and of
course this is true if you create a MONITOR from the C3 or from the DCL
command line.
Since there will always be those customers that want to have their cake
and eat it too, I would suggest you submit an request for enhancement
for a new button within the C3 that says whether or not the /NOINIT
qualifier is used. Since we've already determined that the command line
qualifiers take precedence over the init file, if the button is
selected, the selections for the various keys in the C3 customizations
menus would be stippled out and thus disabled.
Regards,
Dan
thus disabled.
