Table 1-2. Emulator Options Menu Choices

Option

Description

Jump Scroll

Turns on jump scroll, a faster method of scrolling lines in a window. Using this
menu option is the same as using the command line option -j (see Section 2).

Reverse Video

Reverses the foreground and background colors. Using this option is the same as
using the command line option -rv (see the X Window System User’s Guide).

Margin Bell

Rings a margin bell when you type near the right margin. Using this menu option is
the same as using the command line option -mb (see Section 2).

Visual Bell

Causes the window to flash when you type near the right margin instead of ringing
a bell. The Margin Bell option must be turned on for Visual Bell to work. Using this
menu option is the same as using the command line options -vb and -mb together
(see Section 2).

Autorepeat

Causes keys that otherwise would not have an autorepeat function to send
repeated key signals as long as the key is held down. On an actual 6530 terminal,
the function keys (F1–F16 and SF1–SF16), and the following keys, do not repeat:

CLEARALLTABS

ENDOFPAGE

INSERTMODE

SETTABS

CLEARTABS

FIRSTPAGE

LASTPAGE

SHIFTEDROLLDN

DELETELINE

HOME

PGDN

SHIFTEDROLLUP

END

INSERTLINE

PGUP

STARTOFLINE

When Autorepeat is on (the default), all of these keys repeat while held down.

Scroll Output

Causes x6530 to scroll to the last page whenever a key is pressed or new output
is received from the Tandem host. This is useful if you use the Page keys to look
back in the save buffer but want to make sure that new output is appended to the
bottom. Caution: this option can produce undesirable results when used with
conversational-mode programs that use the full screen instead of writing only to
the end of it.

Window size
options

Selecting the 80 x 24 option returns the x6530 window to its default size of 80
characters wide by 24 lines high. The other size options—27 x 132, 48 x 80, and
54 x 132—change the window size to the stated dimensions.
