SeeView Overview
SeeView provides users of standard HP terminals (or terminal emulators running on a
PC, Macintosh, or other workstation) with a windowed terminal display similar to those
on many PC or workstation-based products.
By using SeeView, you can display several windows on the workstation at the same
time, each one displaying the output from a different program. For example, you might
have three windows on the screen, one assigned to TACL, one to Peruse, and one to
an editor. After making changes to a program in the editor window, you could compile
the program by entering commands at the TACL window and then look at the listing
from the window assigned to Peruse. With SeeView, you can have several windows
displaying output from the same program (such as two windows, one displaying the
beginning of a file, the other the end). It is also possible to have several programs
share the same window.
SeeView gives you these key features:
•
Concurrent operation of multiple programs
•
Access to multiple terminal pages
•
Greater productivity through easy-to-use menus and function keys
•
Ability to customize the SeeView product through scripts
Multiple Programs
SeeView allows you to run many processes simultaneously on a single workstation
with the output of different processes displayed in different windows. When you no
longer need to see the output of a process, you can delete the window associated with
that process but retrieve the window at a later time when you need to interact with the
process once again.
SeeView also allows you to go back and look at earlier output and input from the
process.
Terminal Pages
SeeView uses the display memory in the workstation to store windows. If you list
something to your workstation that is too long to fit on one screen, the text scrolls off
the screen, but you can press PREV PAGE to go back and look at that text. SeeView
