SELECTTERM 

Updates forms file terminal or device specifications.

Syntax 

             SELECTTERM     [262xand239x] [,color] [,264x] [,307x]

Parameters

                 terminal families; also includes the HP 150.

                 Specifying yes (the value Y or y) enables function key
                 labeling.

307x             Configure forms file for the data capture device family.
                 Specifying eight (the value 8) enables support of the
                 extended features of the HP 3081A.

Discussion 

The parameters may be any valid non-blank character to select the
terminal family.  Only the first character of each parameter is processed
(the rest is treated as command documentation).

At least one parameter must be specified.  Providing a USASCII blank as
the specification for a given device/terminal family does not change the
existing specification.  Specifying $EMPTY clears an existing
specification.

           SELECTTERM ,x,$EMPTY,8

Forms file is configured for color terminals and HP 307x terminals, with
HP 3081A features enabled.  HP264X specification is cleared and existing
HP262X/239X/150 specification, if any, is retained.
