1  SET
 The SET command is used to change several options including:

        The characteristics of a particular field.
        The automatic positioning of windows.
        The function of the arrow keys.
        The number of seconds between display updates.
        The number of columns used by the display.

 Format:  SET option
2  Field
 Changes the characteristics of a particular field.

 Format:  SET field-name[,...] [/qualifier,...]

 NOTE: For a complete list of field names, type HELP FIELDS from the 
       command prompt. If the list of fields scrolls off your terminal, 
       enter SET SCREEN=132 or refer to the OpenVMS System Management 
       Utilities Reference Manual. For a list of field names in a 
       particular class, type HELP CLASSES class-name from the command prompt.
3  Qualifiers
/FORMAT

 Sets the radix to be used to display a particular field.  FORMAT
 applies only to decimal and hexadecimal fields.  Ascii fields can
 not be changed.

 Format:  SET field-name[,...] /FORMAT=radix [/qualifier,...]

 Note:  The HW_VERS field can be displayed in hexidecimal only.

/WIDTH

 Sets the number of columns to use to display a particular field.
 Specifying a value less than the minimum allowed for a particular
 field will set the number of columns for that field to the minimum
 value.  Specifying a value greater than the maximum number of
 columns allowed for a particular field will set the number of
 columns for that field to the maximum value.

 Format:  SET field-name[,...] /WIDTH=value [/qualifier,...]

2  AUTO_POSITIONING
 Enables or disables automatic positioning of windows on the screen.
 By default, AUTO_POSITIONING is ON and windows are automatically 
 positioned based on their size and the order in which they were added. 
 Windows will be positioned so that they do not overlap, but they can 
 extend, fully or in part, beyond the physical limits of the screen.
 Attempting to MOVE a window sets AUTO_POSITIONING to OFF and allows 
 windows to be positioned manually. To reposition a window, you must 
 first SELECT the window to be moved if more than one window is
 being displayed and then MOVE the window to its new position.  When
 you position windows manually, windows are allowed to overlap. For more
 information on moving windows manually, see help on SELECT and MOVE.

 Format:  SET AUTO_POSITIONING ON
          SET AUTO_POSITIONING OFF

 Note:  The SET FUNCTION MOVE command and the MOVE command
        implicitly set auto-positioning to off.
2  FUNCTION
 By default, the arrow keys function as editing keys to provide command 
 line recall and line editing.  The SET FUNCTION command redefines the 
 function of the arrow keys on the terminal to one of three additional
 functions: PAN, SCROLL or MOVE. For example, by entering the SET FUNCTION 
 PAN command, the left arrow, right arrow, up arrow, and down arrow keys, 
 are defined as PAN LEFT 1, PAN RIGHT 1, PAN UP 1, and PAN DOWN 1.

 The SET FUNCTION SCROLL and SET FUNCTION MOVE commands redefine the 
 arrow keys in a similar manner.  Command line recall and line editing 
 can be restored by entering the SET FUNCTION EDIT command.

 Format:  SET FUNCTION function-name

 Note: The SET FUNCTION MOVE command implicitly turns auto-positioning off.
2  INTERVAL
 Specifies the amount of time to wait between display updates
 expressed in seconds.  Using the SET INTERVAL commands overrides
 the /INTERVAL qualifier used at the DCL level.

 Format:

        SET INTERVAL = seconds

2  SCREEN
 Sets the maximum number of columns to be used by the display.
 Accepted range is 1 to 511.

 Note:  For certain types of terminals, character size is
        dependent on the number of columns per line and
        will change as the number of columns is increased
        or decreased.

 Format:  SET SCREEN = width
