DM COMMANDS

7.0; wh (window_hold) *DM*, revision 7.0, 83/08/17
WH (WINDOW_HOLD) *DM* -- Set window hold mode.
usage: wh [-on | -off]


FORMAT

  WH [-ON | -OFF]


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

  The WH command switches a window into (-ON) or out of (-OFF) hold mode.
  WH without options toggles the current setting.  In hold mode, the
  contents of the window are "frozen" and do not change when a program
  sends more output to the pad.  When a window is not in hold mode, the
  window automatically moves to the end of the pad as new output appears.

  By default, the <HOLD> key on keyboard 2 and the <HOLD/GO> key on
  keyboard 1 invoke the WH command.

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