Choose the Play... menu item to replay an interactive terminal test or DECwindows test. The Play operation executes the specified session file. The file is not part of a collection and DTM does not compare the results. For terminal session files, DTM executes the session file as if it were being run on the same type of display device on which it was recorded. If the display device characteristics are different than those for the recording display device, the output may not appear as expected.

1.1 – t_pldwdb
