SET(PAD)

 Determines whether VAXTPU pads the end of lines with blanks instead of
 ending a line at the end of record.  Thus, when video attributes are
 applied to a padded window, it has an even or "boxed" appearence on the
 right side.  This only affects the display; it does NOT change the text.

 Disabling padding improves performance.  You enable padding for special
 visual effects.

 Syntax

    SET (PAD, window {OFF | ON}

 Parameters

    window     The window in which you want to set padding on or off.

    OFF        Specifies that lines on the screen stop at the last
               character of a record.  When video attributes are applied to
               the window, it has an uneven or ragged appearance at the
               right side.  This is the default setting.

    ON         Specifies that VAXTPU pads the end of a line by adding
               blanks after the last character of a record, until the right
               edge of the window.  If there are not enough lines in the
               buffer to fill an entire window, VAXTPU adds blank lines
               from the end-of-buffer line to the end of the window.

 Example

 The following statements turn padding on and display the window in reverse
 video; the padding gives the window an even, or boxed, right side:

    SET (PAD, second_window, ON);
    SET (VIDEO, second_window, REVERSE);
