TERMINAL Use the TERMINAl, command to control the following functions associated vith your virtual console: • Logical line-editinq symbols • Maskinq of password • The APL character set • The Text character set • Siqnaling of an attention interrupt • Attention handlinq mode for your virtual console • Line length for output on your virtual console format of the TERMINAL command is:

char
defines the logical character symbol. If ON is
specified, the default symbol becomes the logical character delete symbol. The default symbol is normally m, but depends
on vhat is specified in your VM/370 directory entry. If OFF is specified, no loqical character delete symbol is If =har is specified, then that character becomes a logical
character delete symbol. The character chosen should be
unique and not common to the data stream being entered. When you loq on, CHARDEL ON is in effect; if your virtual machine is logqed on by the system operator via the AUTOLOG command, CHARDEL OFF is the default. Section 5. Format of CP Commands 157

LINEND ESCAPE TABCHAR {
ON } OFF ::har defines the logical line delete symbol. If ON is specified,
the default symbol becomes the logical line delete symbol.
The default symbol is normally ¢, but depends on what is spe::ified in your VM/370 directory entry. If OFF is
specified, no logical line delete symbol is allowed. If char
is specified, then that character becomes the logical line
delete symbol. The character chosen should be unique and not
common to the data stream being entered. When you log on,
LINEDEL ON is in effect; if your virtual machine is logged on by the system operator via the AUTOLOG command, LINEDEL OFF is
the default. }
char
defines the logical line end symbol. If ON is specified, the
default symbol becomes the logical line end symbol. The
default symbol is normally #, but depends on what is specified
in your VM/370 directory entry. If OFF is specified, no
loqical line end symbol is allowed. If char is specified, then
that character becomes the logical line end character. The
character chosen should be unique and not common to the data
stream being entered. When you log on, LINEND ON is in
effect; if your virtual machine is logged on by the system
operator via the AUTOLOG command, LINEND OFF is the default. } char defines the loqical escape character. If ON is specified, the
default symbol becomes the logical escape character. The
default symbol is normally", but depends on what is specified
in your VM/310 directory entry. If OFF is specified, no
loqical escape character is allowed. If char is specified,
then that character becomes the logical escape character. The
character chosen should be unique and not common to the data stream being entered. When you log on, ESCAPE ON is in
effect; if your virtual machine is logged on by the system
operator via the AUTOLOG command, ESCAPE OFF is the default. } char allows a user to define a variety of logical tab characters on graphics devices. The QUERY TERMINAL command displays the current loqical tab character. ON sets the loqical tab character to the one used by the
system. OFF sets the logical tab character to X'OO'. char defines the logical tab character to be used by the
system internally. It may be any valid special graphic
character. When an invalid character is specified, an error
message is issued to the terminal and the logical tab character remains unchanged.
