Terminal Display Control Screen 

This screen allows you to define the enhancements that are applied to
items displayed on HP ALLBASE/4GL terminal screens.  The same screen
enhancements apply to all HP ALLBASE/4GL terminals.  You can access the
terminal display control screen from the System Specs option on the main
menu.

Field Descriptions 

Brightness.  Enter F to display the screen item at full brightness; enter
H to display the item at half brightness.

Video.  Enter I to display the screen item in inverse video; enter N to
display the item in normal video.

Underline.  Enter Y to display the screen item underlined; otherwise
enter N.

Blink.  Enter Y to display the screen item blinking; otherwise enter N.

Color.  For color terminals, enter a code to display the screen item in
white or in one of the six available colors.  For monochrome terminals,
leave the field blank.  This displays the item in white (if normal video
is selected).  Many monochrome terminals use green or amber instead of
white.

The colors and their codes are:

R                     Red

B                     Blue

G                     Green

Y                     Yellow

C                     Cyan (light blue)

M                     Magenta

W                     White (green on green screens, amber on amber
                      screens)

Use blue carefully.  Blue can appear to be very dark on some color
terminals and can be hard to read.  Use cyan in preference to blue.

Function Keys 

f1       System Defn.    Cancels the current screen and displays the
        system definition screen.

f3       Master Title  Cancels the current screen and displays the master
        title definition screen.

Additional Information 

To allow you to judge the appearance of your selections, each screen item
title displays the attributes you have selected.

Most color terminals don't support color and half-brightness for the same
item.  If you specify both, the color attribute takes precedence.

Monochrome terminals ignore the color attributes.
