40-Character Lines
TN6530 supports 40-character lines by assigning one column to each displayable character.
Double-width characters are displayed as normal characters, and the right half of the screen is not
used.
Data Attributes
TN6530 supports all data attributes that a 653X terminal supports, including the following attributes:
•
Protected and unprotected fields
•
Fields containing only alphabetic, numeric, or alphanumeric characters
•
Fields containing only shifted characters
•
Fields where auto-tab is turned off
Initializing Terminal Options
As system administrator, you can create a file named /etc/tn6530init to override the following
terminal options:
•
The number of pages of terminal memory
•
The screen size
•
The column in which the bell rings
•
The attribute to be used when the blinking, dim, or underline attributes are not supported
Users can also create a file named $HOME/tn6530init in their home directory to override the
settings of the file /etctn6530init. You do not need to create either file unless you want to override
the default terminal options.
Both $HOME/tn6530init and /etc/tn6530init are text (ASCII) files containing one or more of the
following lines:
pages num-pages
screen screen-code
bellcolumn column-number
blinking { normal | reverse }
dim { normal | reverse }
underline { normal | reverse }
You can include a comment line in the file by entering a pound sign (#) as the first character,
followed by the text of the comment.

option.
