Refining the Requester Screen. PATHMAKER uses the information you supply on the
requester definition screen to generate a default requester screen. Now, you can
display and modify the default screen as you wish. Also, you can use the
PATHMAKER Screen Painter to further alter and refine the default screen. The
Screen Painter is a full-screen editor with function keys that allow you to move data
items to different locations on the screen, create identifying labels for screen fields,
write explanatory text and instructions for entering data in screen fields, draw borders
around portions of the screen, and assign video attributes to screen items. The video
attributes include dim or bright fields, blinking or steady fields, reversed video (dark
characters on light background), and underlined fields.
