HP EDIT Reference Manual

Refresh Screen 

Purpose 

Redisplays the current screen.

Default Syntax 

*

Description 

This command redisplays the current screen in which part or all of the
text appears to have been altered.  Some of the possible reasons for the
alteration are:

   *   An MPE message appears on the screen.

   *   You accidentally pressed the Clear Display terminal key or similar
       terminal key.

   *   Data communications interference has produced garbled characters
       on the screen.

Whenever any of these conditions occur, HP EDIT preserves the original
text even though it appears that the contents of the file have been
written over.

Note that if you execute this command from a macro, HP EDIT may only
redisplay the current line.  It only redisplays the screen if the macro
has performed a scroll operation.

Procedure 

To redisplay the screen: 

   1.  Press the * key, or press the Edit Commands function key, followed
       by the Refresh Screen function key.  HP EDIT clears the screen,
       then redisplays the screen in its previous state before visible
       alteration.
