Managing Terminals
MPE XL provides several new parameters for the :SET command, and a new
command, :ECHO,, which sends messages to the $STDLIST device. One of the
new :SET command parameters also is ECHO. Be careful to avoid confusing
the two.
Terminal Control with New :SET Command Parameters
The :SET command lets you change all terminal characteristics at once.
The command syntax is:
{DELETE} {ON } {ON }
:SET [STDLIST= ][;ECHO= ] [;MSG= ]
{SAVE } {OFF} {OFF}
300
1200
2400
[;SPEED = 4800]
9600
19200
19.2K
Terminal speeds of 110, 600, and 1500 are no longer supported.
Table 8-2 shows the parameters for the :SET command:

| | |
| Parameter | Description |

| STDLIST | Flags the job's $STDLIST for deletion at job termination, or |
| | cancels the effect of a previous :SET STDLIST=DELETE command. |
| | Default is SAVE. |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| ECHO | Turns terminal echoing ON or OFF. |
| | |

| MSG | Specifies whether or not TELL messages are displayed on the user's |
| | terminal. MSG=OFF will prevent TELL messages from appearing on |

| | will appear on the terminal. |

| | |
| SPEED | Specifies the terminal's data transmission rate, within the upper |
| | and lower bounds outlined above. The user still must change the |
| | terminal's speed setting manually. |

| | When setting speed, both input and output speeds must be set to |
| | the same value. |

Sending Messages to the $STDLIST Device
The new :ECHO command allows the $STDLIST device to display a message.
The syntax is :
:ECHO [ message]
where message is the message to be displayed to the $STDLIST.
