There are no other files named ttypage.tty in the archive.
<LISPUSERS>TTYPAGE contains two function for manipulating TENEX/TOPS20
terminal paging characteristics.
ttypagelength[n]
- Sets the page length of the terminal to n. n must be
greater or equal to zero and less than or equal to 127.
If n is NIL then ttypagelength returns the current
setting. The value of ttypagelength is the previous
setting.
ttypagemode[flg]
- Flg is either the atom ON, OFF, or NIL. NIL returns the
current setting. The value of ttypagemode is the previous
setting.
Note: On TENEX ttypagemode is a no-op; the terminal is in
paging mode if the terminal page length is non-zero. But
on TOPS20 page mode is independent of page length.
Therefore, to get a terminal to page on TOPS20
ttypagelength must be called with the number of lines on
your terminal and ttypagemode must be called with the atom
ON. To turn off paging on TOPS20, just call ttypagemode
with the atom OFF.
