HP 700-92/96 Emulation

Character Display Attributes

The HP 700-92/96 emulation incorporates various display attributes which can be enabled by host commands or from the keyboard by the user. These attributes are listed in the table below.

When an attribute or set of attributes are enabled, they affect all subsequently displayed characters until an end attribute command or another attribute command is received, or the end of the line is reached. Attributes remain at the display location where they were enabled and will not move when characters are inserted or deleted.

You can configure the f-keys and buttons so that they will enable these attributes when pressed. To do this, display the User Key Definition menu by pressing the keys Shift + F10 together. Use the Tab or Shift + Tab keys to position the cursor in the first field next to the number of the f-key to be defined and press F2 until the letter L for Local is displayed. Press Tab and type in the text that will appear in the display label for the key, for example, Under in the first field and Line in the second for Under Line. Press Tab to move down to the next line. Press F7 to enable Display Functions mode then press Ctrl + [ together or the Esc key, followed by the characters &d and the attribute character, which for underline

is D.

The key definition should look like this if the F1 key was defined to enable the underline attribute:

For any other attribute or combination of attributes, substitute the last character in the second line (D in the example above) with the relevant character from the following table.
