 jterm(C)                        19 June 1992                        jterm(C)


 Name

    jterm - reset layer of windowing terminal

 Syntax

    jterm

 Description

    The jterm command is used to reset a layer of a windowing terminal after
    downloading a terminal program that changes the terminal attributes of
    the layer.  It is useful only under layers(C).  In practice, it is most
    commonly used to restart the default terminal emulator after using an
    alternate one provided with a terminal-specific application package.  For
    example, on the AT&T TELETYPE 5620 DMD terminal, after executing the
    hp2621 command in a layer, issuing the jterm command will restart the
    default terminal emulator in that layer.

 Diagnostics

    Returns 0 upon successful completion, 1 otherwise.

 Notes

    The layer that is reset is the one attached to standard error; that is,
    the window you are in when you type the jterm command.
