[net.micro.att] screen file on PC7300

5143ama@hound.UUCP (A.ALGAVA) (03/21/86)

Has anybody noticed a file called screen in the Filecabinet?
This file contains an entire copy of all terminal interactions
using the terminal emulator.  The problem is that this file
is always getting bigger (with the latest terminal session at
the beginning of the file, not the end!).  There are two other
PC7300's in my group, but they do not create the "screen" file.

How can you stop the terminal emulator from creating the file
(rather than having to clean it up once a day by hand or with cron)?
How do you turn it back on when you want? Any help would be appreciated.

In the profiles, there is a specification for a logfile. This is in Release 3.0,
only.  Refer to your Communications Management manual.  Another thing you could 
try is turn write permission off for your screen file.
