Terminal Display Enhancements HP ALLBASE/4GL lets you control the way terminals used on the HP ALLBASE/4GL system display screen items. To change the terminal display attributes, select the Terminal Display Control option on the system-wide specifications menu. This selection displays the terminal display control screen.HP ALLBASE/4GL can display any item in full bright normal video, half bright normal video, full bright inverse video, or half bright inverse video. Each item can be displayed underlined or blinking. If your system uses color terminals, you can set the color of items on the screen, but in this case, the terminals may ignore the half-brightness attributes. To change the display attributes, enter the characteristics you want for the item type you want to change. You don't need to change the display highlighting if you're happy with the released defaults. If you want to define the color of an item, enter one of the following codes for that item: R Red G Green B Blue Y Yellow C Cyan (light blue) M Magenta W White If you don't select a color for an item, HP ALLBASE/4GL displays the item in white. Be careful with the color blue. On some color terminals it appears very dark, and can be quite hard to read. If you're using a color terminal while you set the display attributes, you'll be able to judge for yourself. But be careful if you are working at a monochrome terminal, and other users on the system have color terminals. If you're not sure about using blue, use cyan (light blue) instead. As you make your entries and move off the field, the item titles at the left side of the screen take on the attributes you have selected. This allows you to assess the appearance of your selections. Press the Commit Data function key when you have completed your entries. The screen image displayed here shows the released default settings.
