WA (WINDOW_AUTOHOLD) -- Set window autohold mode.
usage:  wa [-on | -off]


FORMAT

  WA [-ON | -OFF]


  NOTE: Autohold mode applies only to windows open into transcript pads.

  The  WA  command switches a window into (-ON) and out of (-OFF) autohold mode.
  WA without options toggles the current setting.  In autohold mode, the  window
  automatically  enters  hold  mode  (in  which  the  contents  of  a window are
  temporarily frozen) if either of the following conditions is true:

     o A full window of output  is  available  and  none  of  it  has  been
       displayed.

     o A form feed or create frame operation is output to the pad.  In this
       case,  the window displays the output preceding the form feed.  When
       the window exits from hold mode, the output following the form  feed
       or create frame operation starts at the top of the window.

  Initially,  windows  are  not in autohold mode.  The window legend contains an
  "A" when the window is in autohold mode.
