CONFIG[URE]
DISPLAYBITS bitcount
lets the COPY, INFO, and SHOW commands display 8-bit character sets. The 
default is 7-bit characters.
bitcount
is the number of bits used to determine a printable character for the FUP 
display commands (COPY, INFO, and SHOW). Use 8 for 8-bit character 
sets or 7 for 7-bit character sets. The default value is 7.
[ NO ] ECHO [ CONFIG[URE] ] [ OBEY ]
ECHO CONFIGURE
specifies that FUP should display the options currently configured to the 
home terminal (or list file) when a FUP command that can be configured is 
executed.
If no options are configured for the current command, nothing is displayed. 
For example, FUP displays the current CONFIGURE options for a 
DUP[LICATE] process when a DUP[LICATE] command is executed.
All options configured for a specific command are displayed, including any 
that are explicitly overridden on the command.
ECHO OBEY
specifies that FUP should display the FUP commands that are executed in 
a command file to the home terminal (or list file). If you specify the ECHO 
OBEY option in a command file (including the FUPCSTM or FUPLOCL 
files), it causes an echo to start on the next command in the file.
You can specify CONFIGURE and OBEY on the same command. The ECHO 
option without any parameters implies both CONFIGURE and OBEY. The 
default is ECHO OBEY and NO ECHO CONFIGURE.
