11.3.2 Inverse video
If you are using an application which displays text using a variety of text
colours or other attributes (such as high intensity), you may be able to
improve the display by telling the MP2500 to use 'inverse video' for these
unsupported attributes. Either ask your technical support team which setting
to use, or experiment until you achieve the best result.
11.3.3 Split screen
If an application maintains a status, message, or menu line separate from
the main work area on the screen, you can tell the MP2500 to display it
permanently on the LCD by using the split screen facility. This splits the
CGA and LCD into two parts (windows), displaying information from the top
CGA window in the top LCD window, and the bottom CGA window in the
bottom LCD window.
To do this, set Split Screen to Yes, then set Physical Row to the line
(1..10) where you want to split the LCD and Logical Row to the line
(1..25) where you want to split the CGA.
You can also control scrolling for each window by changing the values
displayed against Top and Bottom. If you set this to Yes, the LCD window
will scroll to show anything you type while the cursor is in that part of the
CGA. If you set this to No, the LCD window will not scroll automatically,
although you can scroll both windows by using the 'viewing keys' (see
section 7.3.3).
11.3.4 Cursor synchronisation
This option allows you to decide whether the LCD should scroll
automatically to keep the cursor visible, or only when you operate the
'viewing keys' (see section 7.3.3). Leave this set to Yes unless you
encounter problems with an application.
