Block-Mode Screen Format

Figure 3-1 shows the general format for block-mode screens.

Line 1 of a block-mode screen is the screen header. It displays which screen you are

using and the time the screen was last updated. Also, for multipage screens, line 1

displays your current page position. Line 2 is blank. Line 3 is blank for some screens;

for others, it lists certain settings applicable to the current screen, such as the name of a

configuration file currently being used.

For most screens, lines 4 through 20 display the current page of screen data, such as

event or configuration information. Line 21 is the advice line, which gives you error

notices, status messages, or advice messages. Lines 22 and 23 tell you which function

keys you can use from this screen and their assignments. For certain other screens

(status and event messages), three lines are required to display the function-key

assignments—lines 21, 22, and 23. In that case, line 20 is the advice line, and lines 4

through 19 are available to display the current page of screen data (16 lines).
