window. The window size will be adjusted accordingly. Note that the number of text
rows actually used for displaying dialog area text is determined by the setting of the
Dialog Area Lines option.
Dialog Area Lines
Factory default: 32
This option defines how many lines of the dialog buffer are visible on the screen in
the dialog area. The size of the text window (see Rows) and dialog buffer (see Dialog
Area Buffer) determines the maximum number of lines that can be displayed. The
minimum number of lines that can be displayed is 2.
Dialog Area Buffer
Factory default: 49
This option specifies the size of the buffer which is used to store text for display in
the dialog area. The number of lines specified must be in the range 2 through 100.
Dialog Area Enabled
Factory default: 1
The dialog area is a region on the screen in which text stored in the dialog area buffer
can be displayed. This option specifies whether the dialog area is enabled or
disabled. The dialog area is enabled when set to 1 and disabled when set to 0.
In VT52, VT100 and Edit mode, text is automatically placed in the dialog area
regardless of whether or not the area is enabled. In Tek mode with the dialog area
enabled, all alphanumeric text is placed in the dialog area buffer. In Tek mode with
the dialog area disabled, text is placed in the graphics area at the current graphics
position. This gives an emulation of the Tektronix 4014 terminal which does not
support an equivalent of the dialog area. In Primary Setup mode, all text entered from
the keyboard is displayed in the dialog area.
