Terminal Types

This topic lists the terminal types supported by Reality together with their TERM TYPE number.

When the @ function is used for extended cursor addressing, the system sends a cursor control string depending on the terminal defined by TERMTYPE.

Different terminal types are indicated by changing the termType parameter (#9) of the TERM command or option 8 in SSM Network File Maintenance.

The following types are defined.

0 PRISM I and II (U.S. only)

1 Microdata Scribe (U.S. only)

2 ADDS Viewpoint (U.S. only)

3 Hardcopy device. Invalid for terminals. All cursor control requests are emitted as a CR/LF (X'0D'/X'0A') pair.

4 PRISM 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9 (default)

5 VT52 (U.S. only)

6 VT100 and VT220 (U.S. only)

7 Wyse 50 (U.S. only)

8 PRISM 8/9 in multinational mode

9 PRISM 9 in ANSI mode

15 Terminal defined by the host environment variable TERM

These settings also indicate whether or not the terminal handles visual mode characters; Types 4 and 5 are set to YES.
