 Switch between the MicroVMS windowing system and a custom application that
 uses the device driver's QIO interface as follows:

    o  Press the F3 key.

 The "Color display setup" menu allows you to tailor the standard colors on
 your workstation to your own taste. The "Color display setup" menu can be
 reached via the "Workstation Setup" menu (see Setting_things_up).

    o  Select a color option ("Window background" for example). A box
       showing the current value of that color will appear. On Color systems,
       bars labeled "Red", "Green", and "Blue" will be displayed. On a
       Monochrome or Intensity system, a single "Intensity" bar appears.

    o  Move the arrow on each of the bars to adjust the amount of red, green,
       and blue (or grey) in that color. If you want to adjust another color,
       select a new color option from the "Color display setup" menu.

    o  You MUST select the "Update color map" option after you have adjusted
       the colors to your preference. If you exit the "Color setup" without
       updating the color map, your changes will be lost.

    o  On Monochrome systems, the cursor colors cannot be adjusted, and
       the only intensities selectable are white and black. A grey striped
       pattern is also available on the display background.

 Create VT220 or TEK4014 emulation windows as follows:

    o  Activate the "Workstation Options" menu and select either the
       "Create new VT220 window" or "Create new TEK4014 window" item.
       (See Window_options for further details.)

    o  If there are no other VT220 or TEK4014 windows on the workstation
       screen, the "Username:" prompt will be displayed in the window.
       You can now log into the system.

    o  If there is a VT220 or TEK4014 window already displayed, and
       "Automatic login" is enabled (see Setting_things_up for futher
       details) you will be logged into the system as soon as the new
       window is created.

 Cycle through all windows to which the keyboard can be attached, bringing
 each window  to the foreground of the display and attaching the keyboard
 to it, as follows:

    o  Press the F5 key on the keyboard as many times as is neccessary to
       bring the desired window to the foreground of the display.

       (NOTE: F5 is also used as the "Reset_color_maps" key)

 Cycleable windows will generally be distinguished by a KB indicator in the
 upper right hand corner of their banners.

 Most windows can be removed from the screen as follows:

    o  Activate the "Window Options" menu of the window to delete and select
       the "Delete" item.  (See Window_options for further details.)

 Windows can also be deleted by exiting the application that created them.
 For VT220 and TEK4014 emulation windows that you created with the
 "Workstation Options" menu, this is accomplished by typing LOGOUT.

 Items in some workstation menus may be disabled by the system or by
 applications. These choices are displayed using grey characters and
 cannot be highlighted or selected.

 If you are a first time user of the VAXstation, there are three basic
 concepts that you need to learn.  Each of these concepts is described
 by one or more topics within this help file.

 To delete this window, type EXIT.

 Suspend and then resume all screen activity except that controlled by the
 "Workstation Options" menu as follows:

    o  Press the F1 key on the keyboard once to suspend screen activity
       and a second time to resume screen activity.

 Icons are a convenient way to represent windows that you are not currently
 using.  To replace a window with an icon:

    o  Activate the "Window Options" menu of the window and select
       the "Shrink to icon" item. (See Window_options for further details.)

 To pop or move an icon:

    o  Use the mouse to move the pointer to the border of the icon.

    o  Pop or move the icon as appropriate.  (See Moving_windows or
       Popping_windows for further details.)

 To replace an icon with the original window:

    o  Use the mouse to move the pointer to any point inside of the icon.

    o  Click the leftmost button on the mouse.

 The window that the keyboard is currently associated with is marked with
 a highlighted KB indicator on the right side of its banner.  Other windows
 that the keyboard can be switched to are marked with non-highlighted KB
 indicators.  Associate the keyboard with one of these windows as follows:

    o  Use the mouse to move the pointer to the banner or border of the
       target window. (If the banner is not visible, see Cycling_windows.)

    o  Click the leftmost button on the mouse.

 Note, this mechanism will also pop the window.

 Many types of windows, such as VT220 and TEK4014 emulation windows allow
 you to associate the keyboard with the window by positioning the pointer
 anywhere in the window.

 Move a window as follows:

    o  Use the mouse to move the pointer to the banner or border of the
       window to move.

    o  Press and hold down the leftmost button on the mouse.  The window
       will disappear and be replaced by an outline rectangle.

    o  Use the mouse to move the rectangle to the new window position.

    o  Release the leftmost button on the mouse.

 View and then hide the operator window (OPA0:) as follows:

    o  Press the F2 key on the keyboard once to view the operator window
       and a second time to hide it.

 You cannot type into this window while the workstation windowing system
 is active.

 Bring a window to the foreground of the display as follows:

    o  Use the mouse to move the pointer to the banner or border of the
       window to pop. (If the banner is not visible, see Cycling_windows.)

    o  Click the leftmost button on the mouse.

       (Note, this mechanism will also associate the keyboard with the
        window, if appropriate.)

                        OR

    o  Activate the "Window Options" menu of the window to pop and select
       the "Pop in front" item.  (See Window_options for further details).

 Many types of windows, such as VT220 and TEK4014 emulation windows allow
 you to pop the window by positioning the pointer anywhere in the window.

 Print a rectangular portion of the screen as follows:

    o  Activate the "Workstation Options" menu and select the "Print (portion
       of) screen" item.  (See Workstation_options for further details).
       The pattern representing the pointer will change to an arrowhead.

    o  Use the mouse to move the pointer to the upper left hand corner of
       the rectangulular area that you want to print.

    o  HOLD DOWN the leftmost button on the mouse.

    o  Move the mouse to create a box around the area to print.

    o  Release the leftmost button on the mouse. The pointer will
       change to an hourglass while the workstation is printing.

 The printer output will be directed to the destination defined in the
 "Workstation setup". See Setting_things_up for further details.

 Move a window to the background of the display as follows:

    o  Activate the "Window Options" menu of the window to push and select
       the "Push behind" item.  (See Window_options for further details).

 You can use this key to return the display to a usable state in the
 event that applications' use of the HW colormap causes some windows to
 "disappear", or become unusable.

 To restore the color map entries for the screen background, the window
 foreground and background, and the cursor, do the following:

    o  Press the F5 key on the keyboard

       (NOTE: F5 is also used as the "Cycle_windows" key)

 After doing this, you may want to click on the banner or border of a
 particular window to restore that window's colors.

 Most windows can be resized as follows:

    o  Activate the "Window Options" menu of the window to resize and select
       the "Change the size" item.  (See Window_options for further details).
       A flashing outline will appear along the border of the window and
       the pattern representing the pointer will change to new arrow.

    o  Use the mouse to move the pointer to a side or corner of the outline.

    o  Press and hold down the leftmost button on the mouse.

    o  Use the mouse to move the outline into or outside of the window.

    o  Release the leftmost button on the mouse.

 Windows can also be resized under application control. For VT220 and TEK4014
 emulation windows that you created with the "Workstation Options" menu, this
 is accomplished by using the SET TERMINAL/WIDTH=width/PAGE=height command.

 To prevent screen damage, if neither the keyboard nor the mouse have been
 used in the last 15 minutes, the screen display will go off.  Restore the
 display as follows:

    o  Press any key or move the mouse.

 Note, you can control the amount of time it takes before the screen is
 blanked by using the workstation setup facility.  (See Setting_things_up
 for further details).

 Tailor workstation attributes to your taste as follows:

    o  Activate the "Workstation Options" menu and select the "Setup the
       workstation" item.  (See Workstation_options for further details).
       The "Workstation Setup" menu will appear.

    o  Select the setup item you wish to examine or modify from the upper
       section of setup options.  A titled setup subwindow will appear.

    o  Modify the attribute(s) described by the subwindow by pointing at
       the appropriate spot in the subwindow and clicking the mouse.  The
       attribute will remain as you specify until you turn off the machine.

    o  Delete the subwindow by either reselecting the item that activated
       it or by selecting another item.

    o  Save your tailored attributes so that they can automatically be
       restored next time you turn on the workstation by selecting the
       "Save current settings" item.

    o  To reset the workstation-supplied default values after you have
       altered the setup, select the "Use default settings" item.

    o  Restore your saved attributes while the machine is still running
       by selecting the "Restore last saved settings" item.
