You can set or toggle Telnet/iX Client variables to specific values. Use the DISPLAY command at the telnet> prompt to list the current values of variables.

telnet>  DISPLAY

won't send interrupt characters in urgent mode.
won't map carriage return on output.
won't recognize certain control characters.
won't turn on socket level debugging.
won't print hexadecimal representation of network traffic.
won't show option processing.

[^E] echo.
[^]] escape.
[^H] erase.
[^O] flushoutput.
[^Y] interrupt.
[^X] kill.
[^\] quit.

telnet>

Values shown in this example are default values. To display the value of particular SET and TOGGLE variables only, type these arguments after the DISPLAY command.

Setting Telnet/iX Client Values

You can set particular Telnet/iX Client variables to specific values using the SET command. See Chapter 2 “Telnet/iX Client Commands” for a summary of the variables that can be set using this command. For example, to set the escape character to [CTRL]-C, type the following at the telnet> prompt:

telnet> SET ESCAPE [CTRL]-C
escape character is "^C".

You can use the DISPLAY command to verify the new value of the escape character.

Toggling Telnet/iX Client Values

You can also toggle particular Telnet/iX Client values using the TOGGLE command. See Chapter 2 “Telnet/iX Client Commands” for a summary of the variables that can be toggled using this command. For example, to enable carriage return mode from its default disabled state (FALSE), type the following at the telnet> prompt:

telnet> TOGGLE CRMOD
Will map carriage return on output.

You can use the DISPLAY command to verify that carriage return mode is enabled.
