Description

As there are now multiple places where differing source code is maintained, I thought I'd create a collector ticket here for documentation updates.

comment:1 by Lewis Rosenthal, 10 days ago

I noticed that the formatting for the first paragraph of the SETDOS command was really messed up (all words run together with no spaces). This is apparently due to some idiosyncrasy of ipfc/wipfc under some circumstances when the tab width is too narrow.

This version attached addresses this (just for the SETDOS section) by expanding the tab width to 10 (line 10200).

Also, there is a numbered list a little farther down in that same section (beginning on line 10445) which presents oddly (the second number is out of alignment with the rest of the series). This is (currently) addressed by doing away with the three-space padding before each number.

As the attachment size limitation here in Trac is 1MB and the IPF is currently 1.5MB, it is not possible to attach the file, so the affected lines are shown here. The line number may or may not match what others have, but hopefully, there will be enough context that pasting them in will be fairly trivial.

The rest of the definitions should be reviewed for conformity and for presentation under View as well as NewView.

Lines 10194-10204:

SETDOS /I settings are not inherited by secondary shells. If you
want to use SETDOS /I- to disable commands in all shells, place the
SETDOS command(s) in your :hp1.4START:ehp1. file, which is executed when
any shell starts.
