SNAplus2 RJE Console Program
Using the Console Program
Chapter 5 123
The console program retains the text of the ten previous commands. This
means that you can repeat a previous command without having to type it
in again. The keystrokes CTRL-P (previous command) and CTRL-O (next
command) can be used to browse through the available commands. As
you move forwards or backwards through them, each command in turn
displays on the command input area. Press Return to issue the displayed
command, or use the editing keys described above to change the text of
the command before you issue it.
Viewing Console Information
When you first start the console program, the indicator FOLLOW appears
at the right-hand end of the status line. This indicates that the console is
in follow mode and that the most recent console information is
displaying. As more messages are received from the host, or as you type
further commands, the screen display scrolls so that the most recent
information always displays.
You can use the console program to view earlier console activity, by using
the following keys:
• Up arrow to scroll the display back one line.
• Down arrow to scroll the display forward one line
• Prev or CTRL-B to scroll the display back one screen
• Next or CTRL-F to scroll the display forward one screen
• Home to return to the earliest available information
• Shift-Home or CTRL-E to return to the latest available information
While you are browsing through previous console information, the status
line displays the indicator BROWSE instead of FOLLOW. The display is now
in browse mode instead of follow mode. When you move forward to the
end of the available information (either by using Shift-Home or by
scrolling forward until you reach the end), the console automatically
returns to follow mode, and the indicator changes from BROWSE back to
FOLLOW.
While in browse mode, host messages continue to be received and stored.
However, you are limited to browsing back through 20,000 bytes of
previous output. Also, i f you stay in browse mode while more than
