DBG$HELP.HLB  —  DEBUG  SET  TERMINAL
    Sets the terminal-screen height or width that the debugger uses
    when it formats screen and other output.

                                   NOTE

       This command is not available in the VSI DECwindows Motif for
       OpenVMS user interface to the debugger.

      SET TERMINAL

1  –  Qualifiers

1.1    /PAGE 

       /PAGE:n

    Specifies that the terminal screen height should be set to n
    lines. You can use any value from 18 to 100.

1.2    /WIDTH 

       /WIDTH:n

    Specifies that the terminal screen width should be set to n
    columns. You can use any value from 20 to 255. For a VT100-,
    VT200-, or VT300 series terminal, n is typically either 80 or
    132.

1.3    /WRAP 

    Tells the debugger to wrap output text in predefined display
    OUT at the column specified by the /WIDTH qualifier. If you do
    not specify /WIDTH in the current command, /WRAP defaults to the
    %WIDTH setting.

2  –  Description 

    The SET TERMINAL command enables you to define the portion of
    the screen that the debugger has available for formatting screen
    output.

    This command is useful with VT100-, VT200-, or VT300-series
    terminals, where you can set the screen width to typically 80 or
    132 columns. It is also useful with workstations, where you can
    modify the size of the terminal-emulator window that the debugger
    uses.

    You must specify at least one qualifier. You can specify all. The
    /PAGE and /WIDTH qualifiers each require a value.

    When you enter the SET TERMINAL command, all display window
    definitions are automatically adjusted to reflect the new screen
    dimensions. For example, RH1 changes dimensions proportionally to
    remain in the top right half of the screen.

    Similarly, all "dynamic" display windows are automatically
    adjusted to maintain their relative proportions. Note that
    all display windows are dynamic unless referenced with the
    DISPLAY/NODYNAMIC command. In that case, the display window
    retains its current dimensions after subsequent SET TERMINAL
    commands. However, you can use the DISPLAY command to reconfigure
    the display window (you can also use keypad-key combinations,
    such as BLUE-MINUS, to enter predefined DISPLAY commands).

      132 columns.
