Configuring AEDIT
for Other Terminals
D
Tested Configurations
This appendix lists the configuration functions and values required to run AEDIT
on several terminals. The :config:termcap file supplied with the iRMX OS
contains configuration commands for these terminals. You can add AEDIT
configuration commands for other terminals to that file.
Each terminal's configuration in the :config:termcap file has two parts, separated
by a blank line. The first part is used by both AEDIT and the CLI (Command Line
Interpreter). The second part is used only by AEDIT.
Most CRT terminals have switches to set certain screen or keyboard characteristics.
These switches must be set as in Table D-1 for AEDIT to function correctly.
