ARPUS/ce, Version 2.6.2 (03/10/05) (SCCS 1.5) _______________________________________________________________________________ wa [-on | -off] window autohold mode DESCRIPTION: Use window autohold mode to have your ceterm transcript pad automatically placed in hold mode whenever commands run in the ceterm shell generate enough output to fill one ceterm window. When autohold mode is enabled, an 'A' within a box appears in the upper right region of the window's title bar. This command works closely with the 'wh' (window hold) command as follows. Assume you have a key called 'Pause' whose definition is 'wh'. If your ceterm transcript shows 20 lines and you enter a shell command that produces 100 lines, the following sequence of events takes place (assuming you have a key what we refer to as the 'hold key' and that is defined as 'wh'): A. The command's output (lines 1-20) fills the window. B. The window is automatically placed in autohold mode, indicated by the appearance of the 'H' in the title bar. C. You press the 'hold key', which takes the window out of hold mode (the 'H' in the title bar disappears). D. The command's output (lines 21-40) again fills the window, automatically causing the window to be placed in hold mode. E. You again press the 'hold key' to take the window out of hold mode so that it can display the next set of lines (lines 41-60). F. Repeat events (D) and (E) until all of the command's output is viewable Note that when the window is automatically placed in hold mode, you can perform scrolling and other operations in the transcript pad, just as if you yourself placed the window in hold mode. This command only applies to ceterm windows and not ce windows. Ceterm indicates that it is in autohold mode by displaying an uppercase 'A' enclosed in a small box in the ceterm title bar. The default for wa if -off. The initial state of window autohold may be set via the "-autohold {yes | no}" parameter or the ceterm.autohold X resource. cterm.autohold : y Will cause ceterms to start with autohold on.
