ARPUS/ce, Version 2.6.2 (03/10/05) (SCCS 1.5) _______________________________________________________________________________ wh [-on | -off] "window hold" DESCRIPTION: 'wh' puts a ceterm window into or out of the state where new lines are scrolled onto the window as they arrive from the shell. It also controls whether lines are sent from the Unix command input window to the shell. 'wh -on' puts the ceterm window into hold mode.. 'wh -off' takes the ceterm window out of hold mode. 'wh' by itself toggles between the two modes. A ceterm window's default behavior is to scroll the transcript pad (the main ceterm window) as new output appears. You can place the ceterm window in 'hold' mode so that the visible contents in the transcript pad do not change unless you explicitly place the cursor within it and use scroll keys or commands. While in hold mode, new output is appended to the transcript pad. However, you must explicitly scroll downward to see it. If you take the window out of scroll mode, the transcript pad will automatically be scrolled to the bottom and output from subsequent commands will appear as it normally does in non-hold mode. Commands entered in the Unix command window are not sent to the shell when enter is pressed. Instead the Unix command window is expanded to up to 5 lines. The Unix window behaves as an edit window. Scrolling and other edit commands allow manipulation of data which extends outside the 5 lines displayed. When the window is taken out of hold mode, all data up to the line the cursor is on is sent to the shell. This command only applies to ceterm windows and not ce windows. Ceterm indicates that it is in hold mode by displaying an uppercase 'H' enclosed in a small box in the ceterm title bar.
