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.
