wa (window_autohold) set window autohold mode
usage:  wa [-on | -off]



DESCRIPTION
     The wa command switches a window into (-on) and out of (-off) autohold
     mode.  wa without options toggles the current setting.  In autohold mode,
     the window automatically enters hold mode (in which the contents of a
     window are temporarily frozen) if either of the following conditions is
     true:

     ⊕  A full window of output is available and none of it has been
        displayed.

     ⊕  A form feed or create frame operation is output to the pad.  In this
        case, the window displays the output preceding the form feed.  When
        the window exits from hold mode, the output following the form feed or
        create frame operation starts at the top of the window.

     Initially, windows are not in autohold mode.  The window legend contains
     an "A" when the window is in autohold mode.

NOTE
     Autohold mode applies only to windows open into transcript pads.
