5. 0 manually 7 Set Visual Widen should normally be set to 76 or 80 default with hpterm Otherwise you will not be able to use the extra columns beyond 80 5 3 13 Visual Blockemulation on HP UX This feature does not work on As of HP UX 11 0 HP has dropped support for block mode terminals For this the hpterm terminal emulator reason full screen editing as implemented on HP3000 computers only works on HP at the moment UX versions earlier than 11 0 On HP UX 11 0 or later full screen editing is available in Screen mode Set Visual Screen On on VT type terminals or in Visual mode emulation Set Visual Blockemulation On on HP type terminals As its name implies Blockemulation emulates block mode operations by reading each line one by one instead of reading the whole screen in a single operation Depending on the type of connection this process might take a few seconds as the cursor moves down the screen In most cases Qedit is able to detect that block mode is not available and activates Visual Blockemulation automatically If it does not use the Set Visual Blockemulation command Visual Blockemulation also has the following limitations e Does not allow more than 20 contiguous blank lines e Can not add more than 30 new lines at a time e Can not display more than 260 characters on a line Visual Blockemulation sometimes can not detect it has read all the lines To workaround this Qedit assumes that 20 contiguous blank lines
6. You can invoke Qedit with the following command opt robelle bin gedit The easiest way to add variables accessible to all users is to set the variables in the global exec file for the shell you use For the Bourne and Korn Shells we recommend the following additions export ROBELLE opt robelle export PATH PATH SROBELLE bin export MANPATH MANPATH SROBELLE man Remember to delete any PATH or MANPATH settings in etc d profile so that new users do not override your changes You also have to warn existing Bourne and Korn shell users to change their profile file in their home directories For the C Shell we recommend that you add the following commands after any existing PATH or MANPATH statements in the etc csh login file Qedit 5 4 for HP UX Change Notice setenv ROBELLE opt robelle set path Spath SROBELLE bin setenv MANPATH SMANPATH SROBELLE man Remember to delete any PATH or MANPATH settings in both etc d login and etc d schre so that new users do not override your changes You also have to warn existing C shell users to change their login and cshrc files in their home directories Step 5 Setting Up Links When you run Qedit it creates and uses certain temporary files On HP UX 10 x systems temporary files are generally created in the var tmp directory To get Qedit to keep an undo log and redo stack you must set up a link between usr tmp and var tmp To check whether this has already been done enter ls
7. can be used of line numbers to qualify lines on most commands In its simplest form a command can have a single string using all the search window defaults List enhancement The search string can be further qualified using temporary window settings as in List enhancement Upshift 20 50 This example searches for the word enhancement regardless ofthe case used in columns 20 to 50 Qedit allows up to 10 search strings on a single command Individual strings are separated from each other with the OR keyword Each string can have its own temporary window List enhancement U 20 50 or bug or customer 1 30 The search range can be different depending on the command it is used on For example a List command searches all the lines in the file by default while a Find command starts from the current line The search range can be specified on individual commands using a rangelist A rangelist is often specified using line numbers absolute or relative special keywords First Last All or characters L J To define a block of lines the user can enter 2 line numbers separated a slash e g 1 6 It is also possible to define a block of lines using a string range This syntax allows the use of strings to define the start and end of the range A string range can also be combined with a numeric line range to further define the block Here are some examples List start proc end proc Change a p start proc
8. is 256 columns Qedit can support up to 999 columns but in these instances the width has to be entered using the RCRTWIDTH variable or the Set Term Columns command 4 Qedit sets the option that eliminates changes to display width Set MarginFixed On This option also ensures that the right margin is always set at the right edge of the display width Normally the right margin is set at the last valid column of the file which might be less than the display width You can use this option with other emulators if you wish to stop Qedit from changing the display width Please read the section on Set Visual Marginfixed to learn about its advantages and disadvantages 5 Ifyou use the Set Term Columns command to specify a new width Qedit does not attempt to change the terminal with an escape sequence Qedit 5 4 for HP UX Change Notice Enhancements In Version 5 4 e 15 Instead it displays the following message and waits for you to change the width manually Please change display width and press Enter Qedit does not verify that you have done this correctly so if you make a mistake do another Set Term Columns command to fix the width 6 Set Visual Stop normally resets all the jcws to their default state forcing Qedit to re identify the terminal However for hpterm the RCRTMODEL and RCRTWIDTH jcws are not reset since the terminal cannot be identified automatically If you wish to stop using 1234 mode you must reset RCRTMODEL to
9. line mode but it has to be enabled by removing it from the list of string delimiters In order to do this you could do the following 12 e Enhancements In Version 5 4 Qedit 5 4 for HP UX Change Notice V stringd Set STRINGDelimiters _ gt amp S stringd I _ gt amp Notice that tilde has been removed from the delimiter list entered on the Set command This is most useful when you occasionally enter line mode commands on the homeline that change the current line pointer For example let s say you are editing line 1500 in full screen mode and you enter List display on the homeline At the end of the list the current line is going to be the last line listed not 1500 To get back to line 1500 you only need to enter the tilde atthe Next Command Visual prompt 5 3 14 Folding Wide Lines There are 2 file types on UNIX files with Newline delimiters at the end of each line and files without Newline delimiters By default Qedit UX can not handle files without Newlines or files with lines longer than 8 172 characters It is possible to edit these files by folding the content into manageable pieces This is done using the Length option Use this option to specify the size of each line The maximum value 1s 8 172 When reading the file in each Qedit UX read retrieves the specified number of characters until it reaches the end of the file Lines will all have the same size except the very last line
10. the file is wider than the configured width Qedit tries to display as much text as it thinks it can This causes the text to overflow However instead of truncating the extra characters the emulator writes them out on the last displayable column For example if a file has 100 characters but the configured width is 80 the first 79 characters are displayed correctly Characters 80 through 100 are written to column 80 The net result is characters 80 to 99 are lost and character 100 ends up in column 80 on the screen 5 3 13 Type 1234 Terminals and Emulators Set the RCRTMODEL to 1234 if the terminal or emulator you are using does not support all the standard HP terminal features For example you should use this setting with hpterm hpterm is a UNIX terminal emulator running under the X window system It s a basic 2392 emulator hpterm can not identify itself to Qedit nor let Qedit change the display width by escape sequence although you can configure the display width manually When RCRTMODEL is set to 1234 before you run Qedit Qedit functions in the following manner 1 It accepts the terminal as a terminal that is capable of more than 80 columns of display memory and of doing full screen mode 2 If you set RCRTWIDTH to some value between 81 and 256 Qedit accepts it as the manually set display width 3 If you do not set RCRTWIDTH Qedit attempts to sense the current display width and sets the jew accordingly The maximum width
