Composing Characters in
Multinational Mode (ASCII
Personalities)
In multinational mode, two-key and three-key sequences are supported
in all ASCII personalities that support both 7- and 8-bit characters
(Wyse 60, Wyse 120, Wyse 120+, Wyse 150, Wyse 150+, and PC Term).
You can compose characters with a two-key or three-key sequence in
any keyboard language:
Step 8 is not necessary when Buffer
is set to NVR because key
definitions are automatically saved.

Key definitions share approximately 500 bytes of memory space with
the answerback message. If you enter more than 64 characters for any
one key, or reach the 500-byte overall limit, you'll hear the warning bell
and won't be able to enter additional characters.

On the Miscellaneous setup menu, you can set the terminal to remind
you to take a rest after a specified period of uninterrupted keyboard
activity. After the period specified for keyboard activity has elapsed, a
bell sounds and the message REST appears on the status line for the
duration of the scheduled rest time. For example, the 5/30 setting
schedules a 5-minute rest for every 30 minutes of uninterrupted
.keyboard activity.
Continuing this example, if you interrupt keyboard activity before 30
minutes have elapsed, the terminal tracks the time-out as follows:
• If
the time-out is less than five minutes, the upcoming rest time is
shortened by the number of minutes of inactivity. For example, if
your time-out was two minutes long, the upcoming rest time is
shortened to three minutes instead of five.
• If
the time-out is more than five minutes, the terminal resets the
activity period for another 30 minutes of uninterrupted keyboard
activity. For example, if you interrupt keyboard activity after 15 of
the 30 minutes have elapsed, and you don't return to the keyboard
until 10 minutes later, the terminal resets the activity period to a full
30 minutes from the time you return to the keyboard.

Note If
you start typing four minutes into a 5-minute scheduled rest
time, the REST message remains on the status line until future
time-outs use up the remaining one minute.
When the terminal is communicating with the host in full- or
half-duplex mode, most keys perform remote functions. That is, they
send codes that are interpreted and acted upon by the host operating
system and your application programs.
