2 Init_File
The Schlumberger EDT Emulator (APLTPU) can be customized to
suit your needs with initialization files. Two types of
initialization files may be used, COMMAND files containing
VAXTPU commands, and INITIALIZATION files containing APLTPU
commands.
3 COMMAND_files
Command files contain VAXTPU commands and are documented in the
VAX Text Processing Utility Manual in the VMS documentation set.
The search sequence for command files is:
1) None if /NOCOMMAND is specified in the TPU command line
2) Any file specified by /COMMAND in the TPU command line
3) Under VMS V4.x, the logical name TPUINI is used next
Under VMS V5.x, the logical name TPU$COMMAND is used next
4) Under VMS V4.x, the file TPUINI.TPU in the current directory
Under VMS V5.x, the file TPU$COMMAND.TPU in the current directory
3 INITIALIZATION_files
Initialization files contain Schlumberger EDT Emulator (APLTPU)
commands to allow you to change the default setting of APLTPU
options.
APLTPU commands can be abbreviated to the shortest unique command.
4 File_names
The search sequence for initialization files is:
1) (VMS V5.x) None if /NOINIT is specified in the TPU command line
2) (VMS V5.X) Any file specified by /INIT in the TPU command line
3) The logical name APLTPU$INIT.APLTPU
4) The file APLTPU$INIT.APLTPU in the current directory
5) The file APLTPU$INIT.APLTPU in your login directory, SYS$LOGIN:
4 Comments
! Comment
Lines in an APLTPU$INIT file beginning with "!" are treated as
comments and ignored.
4 Continuation
APLTPU commands may be continued to another line by ending them
with a "-".
4 ENABLE_BOX
{ENABLE|DISBALE} BOX
The ENABLE/DISABLE BOX command performs the same function as the
GOLD B command and changes the SELECT/CUT/PASTE keys to work in
either BOX mode or the normal EDT mode. See GOLD_B for more
information.
4 ENABLE_DISPLAY
{ENABLE|DISBALE} DISPLAY option
The ENABLE/DISABLE DISPLAY commands affect the display from
APLTPU commands. Currently, the only supported option is
{ENABLE|DISBALE} DISPLAY DEFAULT_FILENAME
which affects the display of a default file name for the
GOLD CTRL/B key. GOLD CTRL/B will still use a default file
name of the last file specified to GOLD CTRL/B, but won't
show the default file name in the prompt when disabled.
4 ENABLE_MARGIN
{ENABLE|DISBALE} MARGIN
The ENABLE/DISABLE MARGIN command performs the same function
as the GOLD F key and enables margin support, causing text
to stay within the bounds specified by either SET LEFT_MARGIN
and SET RIGHT_MARGIN or by the GOLD_< and GOLD_> keys.
4 HELP
HELP
HELP may be entered as an interactive initialization command
to obtain help on initialization commands. It is ignored in
APLTPU$INIT files.
4 MESSAGE
MESSAGE message
The message command will display the specified message in the
message window.
4 SET_CURSOR
SET CURSOR top:bottom
Controls scrolling of the screen relative to the distance of the
cursor from the screen top and the screen bottom. Values for the
top and bottom can range from 0 to 21. Default: SET CURSOR 7:14.
4 SET_DCL
SET DCL {ERASE|NOERASE}
Controls whether the DCL command erases the DCL buffer between
DCL commands.
4 SET_INSERT
SET INSERT
Sets the MAIN buffer to be in insert mode whereby text is inserted
at the cursor position as it is entered.
4 SET_LEFT_MARGIN
SET LEFT_MARGIN n
The SET LEFT_MARGIN command performs the same function as the
GOLD_< key and sets the left margin to column n if margin
support is enabled (GOLD_F or ENABLE MARGINS)
4 SET_OVERSTRIKE
SET OVERSTRIKE
Sets the MAIN buffer to be in overstrike mode whereby text is
replaced at the cursor position as it is entered.
4 SET_QUIET
SET QUIET
The SET QUIET command will turn off command verification until
a SET VERIFY command is issued. This will eliminate some of
the messages from APLTPU commands.
4 SET_RIGHT_MARGIN
SET RIGHT_MARGIN n
The SET RIGHT_MARGIN command performs the same function as the
GOLD_> key and sets the right margin to column n if margin
support is enabled (GOLD_F or ENABLE MARGINS)
4 SET_SCREEN
SET SCREEN width
Sets the maximum number of characters that VAXTPU displays on
a line of text. The possible widths for VT100 terminals with
advanced video option (AVO) are 80 and 132. The width for
VT100 terminals without AVO is 80. The possible widths for
VT200 terminals are 80 and 132. Default: set by operating
system.
4 SET_SEARCH
SET SEARCH {GENERAL|EXACT}
If EXACT, then the case of the characters must be the same.
SET SEARCH {BEGIN|END}
If END, then the current position will become the character
following the located string; otherwise it will be the first
character of the located string (default).
4 SET_TAB
SET TAB EDT number
SET TAB EDT is equivelent to EDT line mode SET TAB command
to set the tab value for tabbing functions.
SET TAB EVERY number
The SET TAB EVERY will change the "size" of the tab key to
be every "number" spaces.
4 SET_VERIFY
SET VERIFY
The SET VERIFY command will turn on command verification
previously turned off by SET QUIET.
4 SET_WORD
SET WORD {EDT|NON-ALPHANUMERIC|"user specified"}
The SET WORD command performs the same operation as the GOLD_X key
and changes word delimiters to be whitespace (EDT), non-alphanumeric
characters (NON-ALPHANUMERIC), or any user specified delimeters.
4 SET_WRAP
SET WRAP number
Determines the column (when margin support is disabled) at which
text will be wrapped when in keypad mode. It is also the right
margin used by the FILL command. If a SET WRAP number is not
issued, then the FILL command uses the window size.
4 TPU
TPU command
Executes the specified VAXTPU command.
2 Input_File
The Schlumberger EDT Emulator (APLTPU) is invoked as follows:
$ TPU filename [,filename [,...]]
The filename can contain wildcards. Note that the symbols
TPU and TPUR should be defined as follows:
$ TPU :== @SYS$LIBRARY:APLTPU
$ TPUR :== @SYS$LIBRARY:APLTPUR
TPUR will edit files /READ_ONLY, and will not use a journal
file.
3 /CONFIRM
The /CONFIRM switch causes APLTPU to confirm for each file
to be edited, whether or not the file should actually be
edited. You can answer Yes, No, or Quit. The default is
not to edit the file. Quit will cause APLTPU to stop
searching for files.
Example:
$ TPU *.COM/CONFIRM
Edit file SYS$SYSDEVICE:[USER]BINREAD.COM;4 [Y/N/Q]?
Edit file SYS$SYSDEVICE:[USER]LOGIN.COM;132 [Y/N/Q]?
Edit file SYS$SYSDEVICE:[USER]SEARCH.COM;1 [Y/N/Q]? Q

1 EDT_EMULATOR
The EDT Keypad Emulator is an interactive text editor that
demonstrates the versatility and extensibility of the VAXTPU
programming language. This editor emulates the keypad functions
and some of the line mode commands of the EDT Version 3 text
editor. The purpose of the EDT Keypad Emulator is to provide you
with a familiar editing interface. It is hoped that you will use
this editor as you have used EDT, but then go on to enhance the
editor with the further powerful capabilities of the VAXTPU
language.

2 LINE_MODE_COMMANDS
The EDT Keypad Emulator provided with VAXTPU emulates only a few
of the line mode commands offered by EDT. To enter one of the
line mode commands, press CTRL/Z. The asterisk prompt (*) appears
at the lower left margin of your screen. Enter the EDT Keypad
Emulator line mode command followed by RETURN. To reenter keypad
mode, type the letter C, for Change, followed by RETURN. The
cursor returns to its former location in the text.
You can extend or enhance the EDT Keypad Emulator's line mode
commands by using the VAXTPU programming language. See the VAX
Text Processing Utility Reference Manual for more information on
customizing the VAXTPU EDT Keypad Emulator editing interface.
3 CHANGE
C
Shifts the EDT Keypad Emulator to keypad mode, and returns the
cursor to its former location in the text.
3 EXIT
EXIT [/SAVE] [file-spec]
Ends the EDT Keypad Emulator session, saving a copy of the
MAIN_BUFFER text in an external file.
4 /SAVE
The /SAVE command line qualifier tells the EDT Keypad Emulator to
save the journal file. Whenever you use /SAVE, you must type a
slash before it to signal the emulator that the following letters
refer to a qualifier, and not a command word or string. The /SAVE
qualifier must be placed before the file name in this command.
3 INCLUDE
INCLUDE file-spec [=buffer]
Copies the specified file into the current EDT Keypad Emulator
session, at the current cursor position. If you supply a buffer
specification, it becomes the new current buffer.
3 QUIT
QUIT [/SAVE]
Ends your editing session without saving a copy of your editing
work. The EDT Keypad Emulator prompts you with the message:
'Buffer modifications will not be saved, continue quitting (Y or
N)?' only if you modified the text. You respond with a Y or N.
4 /SAVE
The /SAVE command line qualifier tells the EDT Keypad Emulator to
save the journal file. Whenever you use /SAVE, you must type a
slash before it to signal the emulator that the following letters
refer to a qualifier, and not a command word or string. The /SAVE
qualifier is the last element in the command line.
3 SUBSTITUTE
SUB /old_string/new_string/ [WHOLE]
Replaces old_string with new_string. If you supply no location
specifiers, the substitution takes place at the first occurrence
of "old_string" on the current line. If you specify WHOLE, then
the substitution is made throughout the current buffer.
3 WRITE
WRITE file-spec [select|whole]
Puts a copy of the entire current buffer or select range into the
specified file. Unlike EXIT, this command does not end the
current editing session. The SELECT option allows you to copy a
selected region of text into the specified file. When finished
copying the text, the select range is reset.
3 SET
SET commands allow you to customize your editing session.
4 CURSOR
SET CURSOR top:bottom
Controls scrolling of the screen relative to the distance of the
cursor from the screen top and the screen bottom. Values for the
top and bottom can range from 0 to 21. Default: SET CURSOR 7:14.
4 SCREEN
SET SCREEN width
Sets the maximum number of characters that VAXTPU displays on a
line of text. The possible widths for VT100 terminals with
advanced video option (AVO) are 80 and 132. The width for VT100
terminals without AVO is 80. The possible widths for VT200
terminals are 80 and 132. Default: set by operating system.
4 SEARCH
SET SEARCH {GENERAL|EXACT}
If EXACT, then the case of the characters must be the same.
SET SEARCH {BEGIN|END}
If END, then the current position will become the character
following the located string; otherwise it will be the first
character of the located string (default).
4 TAB
SET TAB number
Sets the tab value for various tabbing functions.
4 WRAP
SET WRAP number
Determines after which character VAXTPU wraps text being inserted
in keypad mode. It is also the right margin used in the FILL
command. If a SET WRAP number is not indicated, then the FILL
command uses the current window size as the right margin.
3 SHOW
SHOW commands tell which SET commands are in effect.
4 BUFFER
Lists all buffers currently in use during your EDT Keypad Emulator
session. Also lists the number of lines in each buffer and the
file name. An equal sign (=) indicates the current buffer.
4 CURSOR
Shows where scrolling of the screen relative to the distance of
the cursor from the screen top and the screen bottom occurs.
Values for the top and bottom can range from 0 to 21. Default:
SET CURSOR 7:14.
4 SCREEN
Shows the maximum number of characters that VAXTPU displays on a
line of text. The possible widths for VT100 terminals with
advanced video option (AVO) are 80 and 132. The width for VT100
terminals without AVO is 80. The possible widths for VT200
terminals are 80 and 132. Default: set by operating system.
4 SEARCH
Shows how VAXTPU performs searches. Default: SET SEARCH GENERAL,
SET SEARCH BEGIN.
4 VERSION
Displays the current VAXTPU version number and the current version
number of EDTSECINI.TPU (the EDT Keypad Emulator section file).
4 WRAP
Shows after which character VAXTPU wraps text being inserted in
keypad mode. It is also the right margin used in the FILL
command. If a SET WRAP number is not indicated, then the fill
command uses the current window size as the right margin.
3 Command_line_specifiers
4 buffer
The name of a VAXTPU buffer. Use the equal sign (=) immediately
before the buffer name (for example, =MAIN). If the buffer does
not exist, VAXTPU creates one. The EDT Keypad Emulator moves to
the named buffer, except in the case of the WRITE command.
4 file-specification
The specification for an external file. It can include a
directory specification. With INCLUDE, it tells the EDT Keypad
Emulator which file to copy into your editing session. With EXIT
and WRITE, it tells the EDT Keypad Emulator which file to create
to hold text from your editing session. If you include directory
information, the directory must exist and you must have access to
it.
4 select
A selected region of text. The selected text is copied into a
file that is specified in the WRITE command.
4 whole
The entire buffer is used. With WRITE, it tells VAXTPU to write
out the entire buffer (default). With the SUBSTITUTE command, it
tells VAXTPU to search the entire buffer.
3 Missing_commands
Although the EDT Keypad Emulator provides only a few of the most
frequently used line mode commands, missing commands can be
executed by using VAXTPU built-ins from the Gold KP7 command line.
To get a list of the VAXTPU syntax for the missing EDT line mode
commands, ask for help on EDT_EMULATOR VAXTPU_EQUIVALENTS.
2 VAXTPU_EQUIVALENTS
The following table gives a quick view of how to enter VAXTPU
procedure names after the "TPU Command:" prompt to emulate EDT
