DM COMMANDS

7.0;wh (window_hold) *DM*, revision 7.0, 83/08/17
WH (WINDOW_HOLD) -- Set window hold mode.
usage:  wh [-on | -off]


FORMAT

  WH [-ON | -OFF]


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

  The  WH  command  switches a window into (-ON) or out of (-OFF) hold mode.  WH
  without options toggles the current setting.  In hold mode,  the  contents  of
  the  window are "frozen" and do not change when a program sends more output to
  the pad.  When a window is not in hold mode, the window automatically moves to
  the end of the pad as new output appears.

  By default, the <HOLD> key on low-profile keyboards and the <HOLD/GO>  key  on
  880 keyboards invoke the WH command.

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