FORWARD
FORWARD N LINES skip forward N lines in
buffer
REVERSE
REVERSE N LINES skip back N lines in
buffer
The commands FORWARD and REVERSE must be followed by the number of lines the
user wants to move in the buffer. The command will not execute if the number of lines
is omitted.
The user may also clear the buffer by using the command CLEAR or by selecting CLEAR
BUFFER from the pull-down menu. All data stored in the device buffer will be erased
and is not recoverable. The sys admin may inhibit this ability on a per-user basis by
either creating the user ID without this ability or editing the user parameters after the
user is created.
The CAT and CAT WITH FILTER commands allow a user to output the content of the
device buffer to the screen. This allows a user to capture the contents of a device buffer
by using the telnet client/terminal emulation software’s texr capture capabilities.
CAT outputs the data in the buffer exactly as it was received without any additional
formatting.
CAF outputs the data in the buffer by applying the same formatting that is used by the
TOP, BOTTOM, NEXT, and PREVIOUS type commands. Characters are counted and a
<CR><LF> is added after 80 characters if one is not found in the data. Due to the
counting, escape sequences may not be preserved. Tabs are considered one character.
