I am typing this on a Z-29 terminal and it has what Zenith calls "hold-screen mode". When the terminal is about to scroll off the 24'th line it sends a control-S to the computer. I can then press "SCROLL" to see one more line, or shift-SCROLL to see another page. The Z-19 has a similar capabilty and I believe the VT-100 family has it too. -- Dave Brierley Raytheon Co.; Portsmouth RI; (401)-847-8000 x4073 ...!decvax!brunix!rayssd!dhb ...!allegra!rayssd!dhb ...!linus!rayssd!dhb
