/DISPLAY[={CHARACTER_CELL (default) | DECWINDOWS | MOTIF}] /NODISPLAY Determines the type of screen display, if any. /DISPLAY is the same as /INTERFACE. For example, the following command invokes DECTPU with the Motif DECwindows interface: $ EDIT/TPU /DISPLAY=DECWINDOWS Then, if DECwindows Motif is available, DECTPU displays the editing session in a separate window on your workstation screen and enables DECwindows features---for example, the EVE screen layout then includes a menu bar and scroll bars, and you can use M1 to move the cursor and select text. If DECwindows is not available, DECTPU works as if on a character-cell terminal. For information about using EVE on DECwindows, use the online help in EVE and read the topic called DECwindows Differences. To specify your preferred display, you can define the logical name TPU$DISPLAY_MANAGER as CHARACTER_CELL, DECWINDOWS, or MOTIF. Use /NODISPLAY for batch jobs or when you are using an unsupported terminal. For batch jobs, you typically use a DECTPU command file or EVE initialization file, as in the following example, which uses a command file named BATCH.TPU: EDIT/TPU /NODISPLAY /COMMAND=batch This batch file should comprise a complete editing session, including EXIT or QUIT. Note that some EVE commands cannot be used in batch because they prompt for a key press or other interactive response.
