The Terminal/Language Selection Menu allows you to specify which terminals will be used with the forms file. You may select one family or any combination of families, including all four families (HP 264X, HP 262X, HP 239X (includes HP 150), and HP 307X). The HP 264X family is the terminal default value. When the selection is defaulted, the forms file will run on the HP 264X family, the HP 262X/HP 239X family and the HP 150, but the following features of selected terminals will not be supported: color, local edits, function key labeling on HP 264X terminals, and security display enhancement. Consult Appendix G to see which HP terminals support which features. The family of terminals need not be specified unless the forms file will be making use of these terminal features or will be used with the data capture devices. Refer to the field descriptions below for more information.

The Terminal/Language Selection Menu also allows you to specify the native language with which the forms file will be used. See "Setting the Language ID Numbers", Section 8, for more information.

The options available on the Terminal/Language Selection Menu are also available using FORMSPEC in batch mode. (See Section 7, for more information.)
