1  –  Description

    The display attributes have the following properties:

    o  A display that has the error attribute displays debugger
       diagnostic messages.

    o  A display that has the input attribute echoes your debugger
       input.

    o  A display that has the instruction attribute displays the
       decoded instruction stream of the routine being debugged.
       The display is updated when you enter an EXAMINE/INSTRUCTION
       command.

    o  A display that has the output attribute displays any debugger
       output that is not directed to another display.

    o  A display that has the program attribute displays program
       input and output. Currently only the PROMPT display can have
       the program attribute.

    o  A display that has the prompt attribute is where the debugger
       prompts for input. Currently, only the PROMPT display can have
       the PROMPT attribute.

    o  A display that has the scroll attribute is the default display
       for the SCROLL, MOVE, and EXPAND commands.

    o  A display that has the source attribute displays the source
       code of the module being debugged, if available. The display
       is updated when you enter a TYPE or EXAMINE/SOURCE command.
