ITS TTY Variables:

     This file attempts to maintain up-to-date documentation on all
the TTY variables.  Those wonderful souls who update this information
in anyway (additions, deletions, corrections) should describe their
modifications in a brief note to INFO-ITS so that interested parties
can correct their copies or conceptions without needing to print or read
the entire file again.  For example:

:MAIL INFO-ITS I added documentation on the FOO variable to TTYVAR.^C
----------------------------------------------------------------------

     For a more complete description of TTY handling see the file
.INFO.;ITS TTY.  This file exists primarily to facilitate lookup via
the DOC program.  Use :DOC TTYVAR <name> to read the documentation
of a specific variable.

     The system calls for reading and setting TTY variables are:
CNSGET, CNSSET, OPEN, RCPOS, RFNAME, RSSIZE, SCML, SCPOS, STYGET,
TTYGET, TTYSET, and TTYVAR.

BIT names:

     Bit names begin with %Tx where x specifies which variable.  Byte
pointer names begin with $Tx.  Here is a list of the prefixs in use
and where they're found:

%TA	TTYSTA
%TB	.TTY
%TC	TTYCOM
%TD	output buffers (these are characters, not bits)
%TF	?
%TG	TTYST1 and TTYST2
%TI	IOCHNM (for input channels)
%TJ	IOCHNM (for output channels)
%TN	TCTYP (these are codes, not bits)
%TO	TTYOPT LH
%TP	TTYOPT RH
%TS	TTYSTS
%TT	TTYTYP LH
%TX	input buffers
%TY	TTYTYP RH

HEIGHT:	Screen Height (per-TTY)

     HEIGHT contains the number of lines on the screen.  For printing
terminals it is usually some large number.

     This variable can be read with the CNSGET, RSSIZE, and TTYVAR system
calls and set with the CNSSET and TTYVAR system calls.

IDLTIM:	Idle Time (per-TTY)

     IDLTIM contains the length of time since the last input character
character was typed on the TTY, in 30'ths of a second. 

     This variable can be read with the TTYVAR system call.

IOCHNM:	I/O channel bits (per-channel)

     Some of the control bits set first time options and some are per-channel.
Those which are per-channel are marked below with a *.  The standard names
for these bits are also given.

Control bits on input:
	2.6 *	%TIECH	Read even if char needs pi echoing
	2.5 *	%TIPEK	Don't remove char from buffer (peek)
	2.3 *	%TIACT	Don't wait for activation char
	2.2 *	%TIINT	Read even if char is an interrupt
			char and hasn't interrupted yet.
	2.1 *	%TINWT	Do not wait for input.  If no input is
			available, return -1 in unit mode, or
			return a partially filled block in block mode.
	1.9 *	%TIFUL	Use the full TV character set if possible.
			In this mode, characters have this form:
			2.3	%TXTOP	Top.
			2.2	Obsolete.  Used to be Shift lock.
			2.1	%TXSUP	Super.  Used to be Shift.
			1.9	%TXMTA	Meta.
			1.8	%TXCTL	Control.
			1.7-1.1	%TXASC	Ascii part of character.
			Of course, for non-TV's only %TXASC
			will be non-zero.
	1.6	Set up 3 line echo area (like SCML of 3).
	1.4	"DDT" mode.  Initially clear the %TGPIE and
		%TGMPE bits for carriage return, line feed,
		and tab, thus causing them not to echo.
	1.3	Image mode.  Initially clear the %TGPIE
		and %TGMPE bits for all characters.
	1.2	0 = unit mode, 1 = block mode.  In block mode,
		^C causes a block mode end of file.
	1.1	0 = input.

Control bits on output:

	2.6 *	%TJECH	Echo mode output.
	2.5 *	%TJCTN	Don't do line continuation.
	2.4 *	%TJSTP	Channel is hung in **MORE**.
		Unusual in that the system modifies this bit.
	2.3 *	%TJDIS	Recognize ^P cursor codes.
	2.2 *	%TJSIO	Super-image output.  No padding
			or cursor control is performed.
	2.1 *	%TJMOR	Do not do **MORE** processing.
	1.9 *	%TJPP2	Output in the echo area if it exists.
	1.6	Same as 2.2 - turns on %TJSIO.
	1.5	Same as 2.3 - turns on %TJDIS.
	1.4	Turns on %TJECH, %TJPP2, %TJMOR.
	1.3	Image mode.  Initially set %TGIMG bits
		for all characters.
	1.2	0 = unit mode, 1 = block mode.  In block mode
		output all ^C's are ignored.
	1.1	1 = output.

     The I/O channel word for a TTY channel can be read with RFNAME.  It
is set by the OPEN call.

ISPEED:	Input Speed (per-TTY)

     ISPEED is the input speed of the terminal.  It refers to the input
speed code stored in the TTYTYP variable.  However, it is not a speed
code, but rather the speed in bits per second.  Also, you are allowed to
set the ISPEED variable, while you are not allowed to set the whole TTYTYP
variable.

     This variable can be read and set with the TTYVAR system call.

OSPEED:	Output Speed (per-TTY)

     OSPEED is the output speed of the terminal.  It refers to the output
speed code stored in the TTYTYP variable.  However, it is not a speed
code, but rather the speed in bits per second.  Also, you are allowed to
set the OSPEED variable, while you are not allowed to set the whole TTYTYP
variable.

     This variable can be read and set with the TTYVAR system call.

TCTYP:	Terminal type code (per-TTY)

	0	%TNPRT	Printing terminal.
	1	%TNDP	Good Datapoint.
	2	%TNODP	Bad Datapoint ("loser").
	3	%TNIML	Imlac.
	4	%TNTEK	Tektronix.
	5	%TNTV	PDP-11 TV.
	6	%TNMEM	Memowreck.
	7	%TNSFW	Software terminal (accepts internal
			ITS display codes, such as live in
			internal terminal output buffers;
			see ITS TTY for details).
	10	%TNTRM	Terminet.
	11	%TNESC	Display using ASCII standard display codes.
	12	%TNDTM	Datamedia.
	13	%TNRAY	Teleray 1061
	14	%TNHDS	Concept 100
	15	%TNH19	Zenith H19
	16	%TNAAA	Ann Arbor Ambassador

     This variable can be read with the CNSGET and TTYVAR system calls
and set with the CNSSET and TTYVAR system calls.

	4.5	%TCOCO	Output comm override (I see my job's typing).
	4.4	%TCRFS	Refuse comm messages.
	4.3	%TCQRY	Query me if comm attempted to me.

	3.4	%TCFPD	First part of an output code sequence is done.
	3.3	%TCTPN	Type ^_N on leaving comm (unless user types it).
	3.2	%TCPAD	0 => padding necessary on datapoint.
	3.1	%TCHNG	Done flag seems to be fried - time out quickly.
	2.9-1.1	-1 if not in comm mode; otherwise number of
		next tty in circular list of those in comm mode
		together.

Only the %TCICO, %TCOCO, %TCRFS, %TCQRY, %TCMTR, and %TCINP bits may
be set.

     This variable can be read with the CNSGET and TTYVAR system calls

			eventually (hasn't been in use since
			the last one).
	4.8	%TAC.Z  Tty is being ^Z'd.  Shouldn't be on with

     This variable can be read with the CNSGET and TTYVAR system calls.

WIDTH:	Screen width (per-TTY)

     WIDTH contains the no. of usable print positions on a line for the
TTY.  It is usually one or two less than the actual no. of columns to allow
room for a "!" in the last column to indicate typeout being continued on
the next line (two columns are required when the terminal loses by
automatically performing a CRLF operation when a character is output to
the last column).

     This variable can be read with the CNSGET, RSSIZE and TTYVAR system
calls and set with the CNSSET and TTYVAR system calls.
