Initial screen options

Feasible initial screen options include:

• –d/h/o:

  Set decimal/hex/octal display mode

• –t:

  Edit nls_in and nls_out tables

• –r:

  Toggle display of characters

• –s:

  Toggle character set

With the options –D, –H, and –O, you can change the display mode of the character values into decimal, hexadecimal, or octal.

You can use the –T option to edit the conversion tables. A second window is displayed.

The initial screen shows the characters that the terminal displays as defaults. With the –R option, you can set this mode on or off.

The default characters that appear on the initial screen are characters of the upper part (160-255) of the ISO character set. With the –S option, you can switch between the lower part (32-127) and the upper part of this character set.

To display the initial screen options, you can type ?. The window that is displayed also shows your terminal setup, NLS table names, and shell variable BSE.
