128 maximum tasks.

ASSIGN CACHEFILE disc-volume: This parameter redefines the disk swap
volume for cache memory allocation.
PARAMs in Startup Message
You can specify SeeView PARAMs in the startup message if PARAM is the first
keyword in the startup message and is followed by a comma-separated list of startup
PARAM identifiers. For example:
SEEVIEW /NAME/ PARAM TASKS 300, SYMBOLS 512, CACHE 4096
The previous example is equivalent to:
PARAM TASKS 300
PARAM SYMBOLS 512
PARAM CACHE 4096
SEEVIEW /NAME/
You can include both PARAM options and statements in the startup message. For
example:
SEEVIEW/NAME/ PARAM CACHE 4096; ON $DATA.SUBVOL.MYSHELL
This feature allows subsystem commands that do not support PARAM statements,
such as the SAFECOM ADD TERMINAL command, to start SeeView and specify
custom SeeView startup PARAM values.
Startup Modes
When you start the SeeView program, it selects its command input file from one of
several different sources depending on the operating mode chosen.
SeeShell Mode
If a file named SeeShell is present in the current default subvolume or the SeeView
program object subvolume, the commands contained in the SeeShell file are
automatically executed. This startup environment is the default. The startup command
for the SeeShell mode is:
1> SEEVIEW /NAME/
Standard In-File Mode
If you specify IN filename at startup, the SeeView program executes the commands
contained in the specified file. An input file specification overrides the presence of a
SeeShell file. The startup command for the input file mode is:
1> SEEVIEW /NAME, IN filename/
