10.0;wh (window_hold) *DM*, revision 1.0, 87/12/23
wh (window_hold)  set window hold mode
usage:  wh [-on | -off]



DESCRIPTION
     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 invokes the wh command.

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

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