THE HP 264X TERMINALS
The HP 264X terminal family is the terminal default--you do not need to
access FORMSPEC's Terminal/Language Selection Menu unless you need to
change the default. However, if you want function key labeling for HP
264X terminals, you must access the Terminal/Language Selection Menu and
specify Y in the HP 264X Family field. Also, when designing forms to run
on these terminals, the following constraints must be considered:
* Do not use column 79 if the form is to be part of a form family.
* Do not use column 80 if the form may have another form appended to it
or is part of a form family.
* A multiline field must go all the way through column 80 in order to
continue on the next line.
* The security display enhancement is not supported on HP 26 4X
terminals.
All HP 264X terminals, except the HP 2640A and HP 2644A terminals
described below, run VPLUS/V with the default terminal strapping.
However, if the defaults have been altered, you must close straps G and
H. These terminals are automatically configured by VPLUS/V so you do not
have to press the block mode key.
HP 2640B Terminal
This terminal must be placed in block mode. When the terminal is opened
by FORMSPEC, ENTRY, REFSPEC, or an application, a message is displayed
asking you to press the block mode key. Also, when the terminal is
closed, a message reminds you to unlatch the block mode key. The HP
2640B must be strapped as follows to use VPLUS/V:
_____________________________________

| Switch Setting |

| A closed |
| B ------ |
| C closed |
| D open |
| E open |
| F open |
| G open |
H closed
_____________________________________
Strapping the terminal in this manner allows BLOCK MODE/PAGE operation
and allows you to use the function keys without also using CONTROL. The
backtab feature, which allows you to use CONTROL TAB to position the
cursor to the beginning of the previous field, is not available on this
terminal.
HP 2644A Terminal
This terminal must be placed in block mode. When the terminal is opened
by FORMSPEC, ENTRY, REFSPEC, or an application, a message is displayed
asking you to press the block mode key. Also, when the terminal is
closed, a message reminds you to unlatch the block mode key. The HP 26
44A must be strapped as follows to use VPLUS/V:
