Commands Related to DEALLOCATE
DISPLAYBITS
Lets the COPY, INFO, and SHOW commands display 8-bit characters.
The DISPLAYBITS command became an option of the CONFIG[URE] command with
the D30 product version of FUP. However, for compatibility purposes, any FUP product
versions prior to the D30 RVU continue to recognize the DISPLAYBITS option as
command syntax. For more information, see CONFIG[URE] on page 2-28.
