[net.micro.att] 7300 - vi windows

fredeng@whuxm.UUCP (ENG) (10/24/85)

A while back, I noticed a posting concerning vi on the 7300.
In particular, ther window created was the entire screen
instead of the default partial screen. If anybody has any
information I would appreciate it very much.

In the Office file, in the UNIX entry, change the line:
	Run=EXEC -w $SHELL
to
	Run=EXEC -wd $SHELL
to get a full 24x80 unix window.
If you want, you can keep your own copy of the Office file
in your $HOME directory; you only need the entry (4 or 5
lines) that is different from the one in /usr/lib/ua/Office.
The Office in your $HOME overrides the one in /usr/lib/ua.
(see the man pages section 4, ua, page 6.)

Yesterday I found a simple way to get a full screen vi from the user agent
on the 7300 for most files.
1)	drop into UNIX from the user agent.
2)	cd /u/yourname 		- your 'real' root directory
3)	copy the file /usr/lib/ua/Suffixes to /u/yourname/Suffixes
4)	edit all references to EXEC -w $EDIT ...   to
			       EXEC -dw $EDIT ....
5)	if you need additional suffixes, add them to the list, copying
	the syntax of the existing entries.	(I added '.d' for documentation
	files.)
6)	logoff, then log back on.

Ref:	from the ua (?) section of the manual,
		-d	run process in a dimensionless (e.i. borderless) window
		-w	run without waiting	(not run in window, as
						someone said.)
	default is to run in a window.

This is in addition to the previously posted info for obtaining a full screen
UNIX information that was posted previously.
