WA (WINDOW_AUTOHOLD) *DM* -- Set window autohold mode.
usage: wa [-on | -off]


FORMAT

  WA [-ON | -OFF]


  *** NOTE: Autohold mode applies only to windows open into transcript
            pads.

  The WA command switches a window into (-ON) and out of (-OFF)
  autohold mode.  WA without options toggles the current setting.
  In autohold mode, the window automatically enters hold mode
  (in which the contents of a window are temporarily frozen) if
  either of the following conditions is true:

  o  A full window of output is available and none of it has
     been displayed.
  o  A form feed or create frame operation is output to the pad.
     In this case, the window displays the output preceding the
     form feed.  When the window exits from hold mode, the output
     following the form feed or create frame operation starts at
     the top of the window.

  Initially, windows are not in autohold mode.  The window legend
  contains an "A" when the window is in autohold mode.
