"HP terminal" and "dumb terminal" are two different things, dumb terminal meaning "doesn't do squat except CR & LF", HP Terminal meaning "knows HP terminal control language", a collection of HP-exclusive (mostly) responses to escape sequences. But if your terminal is an HP 2645A, there's a button labelled "display functions", and there's a red pilot lamp indicating that it's on. If you do control-display-functions (or something similar, sbeen a while), you get MonitorMode, which displays the nulls, and blinks the pilot lamp. > -----Original Message----- > From: Johnson, Tracy [mailto:[log in to unmask]] > Sent: Monday, March 08, 2004 8:57 AM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Re: Display Function Behavior on 3 Emulators > > > Oh and BTW, I went to a HP dumb terminal and got: > > LSSSC > FXHXR > > Same as Reflection but without the s/e > > BT > > > Tracy Johnson > MSI Schaevitz Sensors=20 > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: HP-3000 Systems Discussion [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On > > Behalf Of Johnson, Tracy > > Sent: Monday, March 08, 2004 11:38 AM > > To: [log in to unmask] > > Subject: [HP3000-L] Display Function Behavior on 3 Emulators > > Importance: Low > >=20 > >=20 > > When using Display Functions on 3 HP terminal emulators I get=20 > > three differing results when displaying the same file. =20 > >=20 > > The file is IFILE.FDATABAS a MANMAN file record #1.
