FLEX always checks the disk's directory immediately following the system
initialization for a file called
STARTUP.TXT.
If none is found the systemprompt
('+++') will be displayed. If a
STARTUP
file is present, it is read and interpreted as a single command line.
Several commands in one line can be separated by a end of line character.
following parameters (each separated by a comma) are supported:
Parameter Description BS=hh Backspace character, default: Ctrl-H (hex 08) delete the
last character typed from the terminal. Setting BS=0 will disable the
backspace feature. BE=hh Backspace echo character, default: 0. Defines the
character to be sent to the terminal after a 'backspace' character is
received. DL=hh Delete character, default: Ctrl-X (hex 18) Erase the
current input line. Set DL=0 will disable this feature. EL=hh End of line character, default: colon (':'). With this
character two commands can be separated on one input line. hh must be a
printable character. Set EL=0 will disable this feature.
DP=dd Depth count, default: 0. Specifies the number of lines
a page consists of. See also EJ and PS. Set DP=0 will disable this feature.
WD=dd Width, specifies the number of characters to be
displayed on a physical line at the terminal (the number of columns).
NL=dd Null count, default: 4. Sets the number of non-printing
(Null) 'pad' characters to be sent to the terminal at the end of each line.
TB=hh Tab character. This character is not used by FLEX but
by some of the utilities f. e. a text editing system. This character should
be set to a printable character.
EJ=dd Eject count, default: 0. Specifies the number of
'eject lines' to be sent to the terminal at the bottom of each page. If
EJ=0 no eject line will be sent.
PS=Y|N Pause control, default: N. Enables or disables the
'end-of-page' feature. If Pause is on and DP is set to some nonzero value,
the output display is automatically suspended at the end of each page. It
may be continued by typing an 'escape' character.
ES=hh Escape character, default: hex 1B. The escape character
is used to stop output from being displayed, and once it is stopped restart
it again.
