 using 7-bit control characters (codes 0 to 31). You
 can change this to VT300 Mode with 8-bit control
 characters by clicking on the VT300 Mode, 8-Bit

share colormap

=TITLE share_colormap
=TITLE Share Color Map Entries
 Normally, this option is enabled on single-plane
 and true color systems and disabled on GPX systems.
 Clicking on this option prevents DECterm from
 allocating color map entries for its exclusive use.
 Instead, DECterm allocates shared, read-only colors out
 of the default color map. This means that DECterm does
 not need to create a private color map (which would
 prevent the windows from displaying in their true
 colors), but it also means that DECterm colors may not
 match the colors used on a real terminal.

backing store

=TITLE backing_store
=TITLE Enable Backing Store
 Normally, the Enable Backing Store option is on,
 causing DECterm to redraw graphics after the window has
 changed. Disabling this option improves performance.

macrograph

=TITLE macrograph
=TITLE Report Macrograph Contents
 Normally, DECterm does not respond to a request by an
 application to report macrograph contents. Clicking on
 this option enables ReGIS commands to report macrograph
 contents. This feature may risk security in some
 environments. When reporting is complete, disable this
 feature. See the DECterm Graphics Programming Manual
 for detailed information about macrographs.

bit planes

=TITLE bit_planes
=TITLE 2-Bit Planes
 You can choose the number of colors available in ReGIS
 and sixel graphics by entering the number of planes
 supported by your system. With 2-bit planes DECterm
 can display four different colors at the same time;
 with 4-bit planes DECterm can display 16 colors.

 Normally, DECterm uses 2-bit planes on 4-plane systems
 and 4-bit planes on all other systems. This reduces the
 probability that DECterm must create a private color
 map.

 Applications written for the VT240 terminal require
 only 2-bit planes, while applications written for the
 VT340 terminal may require up to 4-bit planes.

 The dialog box prompts you for the name of the file you
 want to use to save your customized features. The file
 list box displays the names of any files in the current
 directory that contain customized features. By default,
 these files have the type DAT. Double click on the file
 name of the file you want to use.

 On a VMS system, use the File Filter text field to
 list a subset of files you can then select from. For
 example, to display all files in another directory
 with the file type DAT, type the complete directory
 specification--[JONES.CUSTOMIZE]*.DAT--in the File Filter
 text field and click on the Filter button. Then double
 click on the name of the file you want to use.

 On an
 ULTRIX system, you can also use the File Filter text
 field to list a subset of files you can then select
 from. For example, to display all files in another
 directory with the file type DECterm, type the full

=TITLE reset_terminal
=TITLE Reset Terminal
 Choosing Reset Terminal causes a Soft Terminal Reset
 (STR). For detailed information about Soft Terminal
 Reset, see the DECterm Text Programming Manual.

 Choosing Reset Terminal also restores the default
 color map. On a 4-plane system such as the VS2000/GPX,
 displaying ReGIS or sixel graphics causes DECterm to
 create and load its own hardware color map, so that
 other windows do not display in their true colors when
 the DECterm window has input focus.

 To restore the default hardware color map, first erase
 the graphics from the window by choosing the Clear
 Display menu item from the Commands menu, and then
 reset the terminal with the Reset Terminal menu item.

 Normally, DECterm emulates only 2 planes of graphics on
 a 4-plane system; therefore, DECterm usually does not
 create a color map.
