CONFIG(1)                        User Commands                        CONFIG(1)

NAME
        config - configure the system

SYNOPSIS
        config [PARM]

DESCRIPTION
        The config utility is used to control how information is displayed on
        the console terminal.  The config utility writes the value of PARM to
        the config location in Spinix.  PARM is expressed as a hexadecimal
        number.

        The config value indicates the number of display lines, the terminal
        type and whether a newline sends the line-feed and carriage-return
        characters to the console.  The format of PARM is "NNTL", where "NN" is
        a 2-digit hex number indicating the number of display lines, "T" is a
        single hex digit with a value of 0, 1 or 2 for TTY, PST or ANSI
        terminal mode.  "L" is a single hex digit with the following values:

            0 - Do not send any characters
            1 - Send a LF character
            2 - Send a CR character
            3 - Send a CR character followed by a LF

        The "linefeed" command may also be used to enable/disable whether a
        line-feed character is sent by a newline.

EXAMPLES
        The following shows various examples of terminal configurations:

            config 2    - TTY terminal with no line specification
            config 12   - PST terminal with no line specification
            config 23   - ANSI terminal with no line specification
            config 1823 - 24-line ANSI terminal with CR and LF
            config 2812 - 40-line PST terminal with CR
