You invoke the line-mode user interface by specifying the option -ui line to the dde command. When the debugger starts, a dde> prompt appears.

At the prompt, you can enter most of the commands described in the online command reference. However, note the following exceptions and recommendations:

  • The following commands do not apply to the line-mode interface:

    • property highlight

    • unhighlight

    • property echo -graphic

  • Use the property transcript command to obtain multiple-line displays of the Source File Area, the Assembly Instructions window, the Data Watchpoints window, and the Stack View window.

  • Use the following macros to monitor registers:

    reg_update

    general registers

    fsreg_update

    single-precision floating-point registers

    fdreg_update

    double-precision floating-point registers

  • The help command pipes the contents of the help file through the paging command defined by the PAGER environment variable. If PAGER is not defined, it uses more(1).

You can change the default user interface to the line-mode interface for all users of your system. See Appendix E “User Interface Managers ” for details.
