VMS Help DECnet-Plus, DCL Commands, SET, HOST, /VTP  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    Connects your system to a remote system utilizing the OSI Virtual
    Terminal Protocol.

    Format

      SET HOST/VTP  alias

1 - Parameter

    alias

       Specifies the name of the remote VT application that you wish
       to connect to.  This name can be an alias in the
       SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]ISOAPPLICATIONS.DAT file, or it can be the
       X.500 Distinguished Name of the remote VT application enclosed
       in quotes.

2 - Qualifiers

 2.1 - /BREAK

       /BREAK=break-character

    Selects the break character. The break character is used to
    generate a break on lines that expect a break rather than a
    carriage return. To generate a break, press Ctrl/break-character.

    The break character can be any ASCII character between @ and z.
    You cannot select a character currently defined as either the
    command character (see the description of the /COMMAND=command-
    character qualifier) or the disconnect character (see the
    description of the /DISCONNECT=disconnect-character qualifier).

    The ASCII characters between @ and z include the alphabetic
    characters in both upper and lower cases, the "at" sign (@),
    the backslash (\),  the right bracket (]), the circumflex (^),
    the underscore (_),  and the grave accent (`).

    By default, the break character is the right bracket (]).

 2.2 - /COMMAND

       /COMMAND=command-character

    Selects the command character. The command character is used to
    access VT command mode by pressing Ctrl/command-character.

    The command character can be any ASCII character between @ and z.
    You cannot select a character currently defined as either the
    break character (see the description of the
    /BREAK=break-character qualifier) or the disconnect character
    (see the description of the /DISCONNECT=disconnect-character
    qualifier).

    The ASCII characters between @ and z include the alphabetic
    characters in both upper and lower cases, the "at" sign (@),
    the backslash (\), the right bracket (]), the circumflex (^),
    the underscore (_), and the grave accent (`).

    By default, the command character is the "at" sign (@).

 2.3 - /DISCONNECT

       /DISCONNECT=disconnect-character

    Selects the disconnect character. The disconnect character is
    used to abnormally terminate VT association with the remote
    system by pressing Ctrl/disconnect-character.

    The disconnect character can be any ASCII character between @
    and z.  You cannot select a character currently defined as
    either the break character (see the description of the
    /BREAK=break-character qualifier) or the command character (see
    the description of the /COMMAND=command-character qualifier).

    The ASCII characters between @ and z include the alphabetic
    characters in both upper and lower cases, the "at" sign (@),
    the backslash (\), the right bracket (]), the circumflex (^),
    the underscore (_), and the grave accent (`).

    By default, the disconnect character is the "backslash" (\).

 2.4 - /LOG

       /LOG[=filespec]
       /NOLOG (default)

    Controls whether a log file of the entire session is kept. If you
    use the /LOG qualifier without the file specification, the log
    information is stored in the file SETHOST_VTP.LOG.

 2.5 - /PROFILE

       /PROFILE=profile-name

    Specifies the Virtual Terminal profile to be used when
    establishing the association.  The following profiles are
    currently supported:

    o Generalized_Telnet (default)

    o Telnet

    o Transparent

    o Amode_default

 2.6 - /STATISTICS

       /STATISTICS
       /NOSTATISTICS (default)

    Provides statistics on the VT association, including CPU usage,
    pagefaults, and I/O counts.

3 - Example

    $ SET HOST/VTP ITALIC
    Username:  BROWN
    Password:
        Welcome to VAX/VMS Version 5.4 on node ITALIC
       .
       .
       .
    $  LOGOUT
    BROWN logged out at 19-APR-1991 15:04:25.27
    %VT-S-END, Control returned to local end system

    In this example, the name of the local node is CASLON. This SET
    HOST/VTP command connects the user terminal to the processor at
    the network node named ITALIC. The remote processor then prompts
    for user name and password. Use the normal login procedure to
    log in to the remote processor.
