HOW TO CREATE MACROS
Dialog Area Disabling and Enabling Macros
When copying the dialog
buffer,
you can avoid cluttering up the copy with the
commands that set the copy format by disabling the dialog area and making it
invisible
.
Then
,
when you issue your commands
,
they'll appear in the graphics
area,
and won 't appear on your hard
copy.
Here's how to set up the
macro:
1.
Put the terminal in
Setup.
2.
Since you may want to save this macro in nonvolatile
memory,
start the
programming process by entering this command
:
NVLEARN
The terminal displays the following prompt:
Press the key to be defined
:
3.
Press the F3 function
key.
The screen displays the macro number for the F3
key (130)
,
and the following message appears on the next line
:
Enter definition. (F1 terminates definition, F2 deletes last character)
4
.
Assuming the key-execute character is
0
L (entered as Ctrl-P)
,
type in this
macro definition (using uppercase letters as shown
,
and without any spaces
between characters)
:
I
Ctrl-P
11
Esc
I
KAO
I
Esc
I
LVO
I
Ctrl-P
I
Your command appears like this on the screen
:
oL EcKAOEcLV0°L
5.
Press the F1 key to end the macro definition
.
6
.
If you want to save the macro in the terminal 's nonvolatile
memory,
put the
terminal in Setup and
enter:
NVSAVE
Now you can disable the dialog area and make it invisible without the command
appearing on the screen:
1.
Take the terminal out of
Setup.
2
.
Press
F3.
To create a macro to enable the dialog area and make it visible again
,
follow the
previous steps
,
but assign the macro to a different function key (consider Shift-F3)
,
and substitute KA 1 for KAO and LV1 for LVO when you type in the macro
definition:
I
Ctrl-P
11
Esc
I
KA 1
1
Esc
I
LV1
I
Ctrl-P
