<strong>MTS</strong> 4: <strong>Terminals</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Networks</strong> in <strong>MTS</strong><br />

Comm<strong>and</strong>: BLANK __<br />

BLANK _____<br />

July 1988<br />

Purpose: To specify that the next input line should not be<br />

displayed on the screen. For example, this is useful for<br />

maintaining security when entering confidential<br />

information.<br />

Examples: %BLANK<br />

%BL<br />

Comm<strong>and</strong>: CBEGIN __<br />

CEND __<br />

This comm<strong>and</strong> sets a switch which causes characters to be<br />

translated into blanks before they are entered into the<br />

conversation buffer. After the input line is entered,<br />

the switch is reset.<br />

Pressing the FIX key will clear the input line <strong>and</strong> reset<br />

the switch, except when issued from <strong>MTS</strong> via a $CONTROL<br />

comm<strong>and</strong> or the CONTROL subroutine while connected through<br />

UMnet.<br />

CBEGIN, ____________ CEND<br />

Purpose: To specify a portion of the conversation buffer to be<br />

printed by the %DUMP comm<strong>and</strong>. After the %CBEGIN comm<strong>and</strong><br />

is executed, the first line currently displayed on the<br />

screen becomes the first line of the conversation buffer<br />

to be printed; after the %CEND comm<strong>and</strong> is executed, the<br />

last line currently displayed on the screen becomes the<br />

last line of the conversation buffer to be printed. The<br />

first <strong>and</strong> last lines may be adjusted by executing the %WF<br />

<strong>and</strong> %WB comm<strong>and</strong>s before the %CBEGIN <strong>and</strong> %CEND comm<strong>and</strong>s<br />

are executed.<br />

If either the %CBEGIN or %CEND comm<strong>and</strong>s are omitted<br />

before the %DUMP comm<strong>and</strong> is used, the beginning <strong>and</strong>/or<br />

the end of the conversation buffer will used.<br />

To print the conversation buffer, the following sequence<br />

should be used:<br />

(1) Execute %CBEGIN <strong>and</strong> %CEND comm<strong>and</strong> (if desired).<br />
