Line 24 is the option line, which is available for supplying information that is meant to
be used with the function keys, such as to pass the name of a subject when using the
Last Events function key. You can also specify a page number on line 24 to display a
particular page of the Primary or Alternate Events screens or the Network Status
Summary screen. You can do this from within the screen or from another screen before
pressing the function key to select the screen.
Line 25 is special in that it is separately controlled and does not change when you go
from screen to screen. This line always displays the total number of outstanding events
and a portion of the text of the most recently reported outstanding event. However, the
content of the line is cleared whenever you switch between conversational-mode and
block-mode screens and is updated only when a function key is used or when screen
information is updated. The twenty-fifth line display is not updated for status and
events screens that are in the frozen state. A separate field at the end of the line displays
what mode you are in—conversational (TTY-FDX) or block (BLOCK).
