by clicking on the UPSS ISO Latin 1 option. This causes
the International Standards Organization (ISO) Latin 1
Character Set to be used.
Note
To use this character set, the Character Set
mode option must be set to 8-Bit Characters.
eight bit
=TITLE eight_bit =TITLE 8-Bit Multinational Characters Normally, the character mode is set to 8 bits for use with the DEC Supplemental or ISO Latin 1 Supplemental Character Set.
Seven bit
=TITLE Seven_bit =TITLE 7-Bit NRCS Characters To use National Replacement Character Sets, click on the 7-Bit NRCS Character Mode option. This option lets DECterm operate in 7-bit mode, using the national character set selected in the 7-Bit NRCS dialog box. The default is the 8-bit Multinational Character Set.
vt300 8 bit
=TITLE vt300_8_bit =TITLE VT300 Mode, 8-Bit Controls Normally, DECterm emulates a VT300-series terminal, 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 Controls option. This causes DECterm to translate 8- bit control characters (codes 128 to 159) for function keys, for example, CSIA for the up arrow key. Not all applications understand 8-bit control characters.
vt300 7 bit
=TITLE vt300_7_bit =TITLE VT300 Mode, 7-Bit Controls Normally, DECterm operates in VT300 mode with 7-bit control characters. This means that function keys are transmitted in 7-bit form, for example, ESC OA for the up arrow key.
vt100 mode
=TITLE vt100_mode =TITLE VT100 Mode You can override the VT300 Mode, 8-Bit Controls option by clicking on the VT100 Mode option. This causes DECterm to emulate a VT100 terminal.

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.

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 directory path--/jones/customize/*.DECterm--in the File Filter text field and click on the Filter button.

reset terminal
=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.
