VAXTPU SET(VIDEO) — VMS 5.2

 SET(VIDEO)

 Sets or changes the video attributes of a window.

 Syntax

    SET (VIDEO, window, {NONE | BOLD | BLINK | REVERSE | UNDERLINE})

 Parameters

    window     The window for which you are setting video attributes.

    NONE       To apply no attributes to the characters.  This is the
               default setting.

    BOLD       To make characters appear bold.

    BLINK      To make characters blink.

    dREVERSE   To make characters appear in reverse video.

    UNDERLINE  To underline characters.

 Comments

 Video attributes are cumulative.  The window assumes the video attribute
 of each keyword you set with SET (VIDEO) during an editing session.  If
 you do not want the cumulative effects of previous attributes, specify the
 NONE keyword before specifying any new attributes.

 Video attributes are applied during the next screen update.  SET (VIDEO)
 does not affect the status line of a window.  To change the video
 attributes of the status line, specify the attributes of the status line
 when you create the window or by using SET (STATUS_LINE).

 Example

 The following statements make the current window appear in reverse video
 and with underlining:

    SET (VIDEO, CURRENT_WINDOW, REVERSE);
    SET (VIDEO, CURRENT_WINDOW, UNDERLINE);
