Additional Notes
• Terminal type-ahead is supported on MPE/iX systems for fast scrolling through a report.
• As you scroll through a report, the current page number is displayed at the top of the window
to provide you with the current position within a report.
• When viewing a non $STDLIST report file, the viewer aligns pages at the top of the window.
