Fields 

Figure 4-12 shows a SET ENVIRONMENT Menu.  The following text describes
the fields in that menu.

ECHO                      If Echo is set on (default), commands executed
                          from the XEQ files and command lists will be
                          echoed on your terminal screen.  If Echo is set
                          off, commands from these input sources will not
                          echo back.

PAGESIZE                  Is the number of lines of the EDIT and READ
                          file that appear on your screen at one time
                          while in visual mode.  The default is 20 lines.
                          The integer specified must be between 2 and 40
                          inclusive.

N                         Is the value for N in the Editor function keys
                          Find+N and Find-N. These keys allow you to go
                          forward or backward in an edit, read, or
                          listing file by the number of lines defined by
                          N. N is set to 10 lines by default.

EDIT MODE                 If set to command, you stay in command mode
                          when you enter the LISTING, READ, or EDIT
                          commands.  If edit mode is set to visual, you
                          will be put into visual mode when the LISTING,
                          READ or EDIT commands are entered, unless they
                          are entered from a command list or XEQ file.
                          In these instances, you will enter command
                          mode.  Visual mode is the default.

QUIET                     If Quiet is set to OFF, you will receive a
                          listing of the lines affected when the editor
                          operations are performed on the source file.
                          If Quiet is set to ON, the lines affected by
                          the editor operations such as Delete will not
                          be listed.

FIND STRING               Is a string to be used by the FIND command.

CHANGE STRING             Defines the string to which the Find String
                          will be changed.

Description 

The Set Environment options remain in effect as long as you remain in
TOOLSET/XL. The options are not saved in your workspace.  You must set
them to the desired values each time you run TOOLSET/XL. Any of the
highlighted fields may be changed.  When you are satisfied with the menu,
press the Set OK key.  If you press the End Menu key, none of your
changes will be saved.

Separate commands are also available for changing any of the SET
ENVIRONMENT fields.  For instance, you could type SET PAGESIZE=40 while
in command mode and avoid displaying the menu.
