**** Changes to Monitor Command Manual, 3rd edition, SAILON 54.5, Jan. 1976 ****

3/4/76 -- ME
The COOKIE option in LOGIN doesn't work if you have LOGRUN, INIT, or
PORNO option.  Precedence of these four mutually exclusive options is
(highest first): LOGRUN, INIT, PORNO, COOKIE.

3/5/76 -- ME
ESC Z or TTY BEEP will now cause your TTY to be beeped when your job
has finished doing something that took more than 15 seconds.  BREAK Z
or TTY-BEEP disable this feature.  MAIL comments and complaints to ME.
More precisely, if you are enabled for this automatic beeping, then
you will be beeped ("bell"ed on a non-display) when your job enters
STOPQ, or IOWQ for TTY input, or INTWQ for TTY interrupts only,
provided that your job's incremental wait time is 15 seconds (real
time) or greater.  A job's incremental wait time is the amount of
time spent waiting for the system since the last command was given
that caused the program to leave TTY input IOWQ or STOPQ.  This wait
time corresponds precisely to the incremental run time displayed on
the wholine--both incremental times are reset at the same instant.
Also, if you type BREAK X or TTY NO UPDATE or a similar command which
causes the incremental times never to be reset, then you will never
be beeped automatically (until you type ESC X or TTY UPDATE or other
similar command to restore the resettability of the incremental
times).  Non-ARPA PTYs are never beeped.

3/5/76 -- ME
In the line editor, CONTROL-K followed by RETURN will kill characters
from the cursor to the end of the line.  Similarly, CONTROL-S RETURN
will skip to the end of the line.

3/5/76 -- ME
In the line editor, CLEAR followed by CONTROL-RETURN will reload your
line editor with the text that was in it when CLEAR was typed, unless
the CONTROL-RETURN reloading feature is disabled by the program (e.g., E).
There is one special side effect of this feature: If you type RETURN
after doing a CLEAR and a CONTROL-RETURN, the line will be activated
and ended with a carriage return and a linefeed, EVEN IF THE LINE
ALREADY CONTAINED AN ACTIVATOR (altmode or linefeed).  This may
occasionally be useful if, for instance you or your program reloads
the line editor with a line ended with a null.  In this case, typing
RETURN would normally not cause a CR and LF to follow the text into
the TTY input buffer, but CLEAR, CONTROL-RETURN, RETURN will cause
the CR and LF to be transmitted to the input buffer!

3/9/76 -- REG
BEEP option in LOGIN causes the beep after waiting (ESC Z) feature to
be enabled.

Additional documentation about LOGIN:

If the command L or LOGIN with no argument is typed, LOGIN will prompt,
with #, for the PPN.

If LOGIN asks for a password and a blank one is supplied (by typing
return), then LOGIN assumes that the user typed the wrong PPN and now
wants to correct that error.  LOGIN prompts for a new PPN by typing #.

3/31/76 -- ME
The new /UFDPRO switch in COPY causes the DIRECTORY command (or
/SEARCH switch) to type out the UFD protection and the UFD's default
file protection for each PPN for which a header is listed.  These two
protection codes are output on the PPN's header line in the following
form:

   [PRJ,PRG]	UFD PRO=405; DEF PRO=000

The /UFDPRO switch (which currently can be abbreviated /U) is implied
by /FULL and by /PROTECTION (in a DIRECTORY command).  The /FULL
switch now prints this header line in addition to listing each file's
PPN on its own line.

To get just these protections typed out (without listing any files),
use /Q/F/U, e.g.,

DI/Q/F/U

Like the other directory switches (/PROTECTION, /WRITER, /DUMPED,
etc.), the /UFDPRO switch is sticky no matter where it occurs.  For
instance, to see the UFD protection and the dump date of files named
FOO and BAZ, use:

DI FOO,BAZ/DUMP/UFD

Note that if none of the files named exists, then the PPN header is
not printed and so the UFD protection will not be listed.

4/2/76 -- ME
MAIL now does not generate the warning "nonstandard page printer
geometry may obscure message" if either the current PP or PP 0 has
default dimensions.  Also, MAIL #LOGOUT will assume default /-E
unless /E given explicitly (this creates file LOGOUT.MSG which is
typed and deleted when you log out).

6/15/76 -- ME
The COPY switch /FULL now implies /DUMPED on non-displays as well as
on displays.  Also, DIRECTORY now implies /TIME on non-displays as
well as on displays.

6/18/76 -- REG
START, CSTART, REENTER and DDT commands will clear PCPUBL on the KL10.

6/25/76 -- REG
DART system-class dumps will not dump files with the extension SND.

6/27/76 -- MJC (by ME)
SNAIL: RER and RERUN now interpret any core size arg as number of pages.
Slash may end PPN (i.e., right square bracket may be omitted).
Starting SNAIL at starting address minus one causes it to read and
process the ED commmand file.
"PROCESS @" loads the contents of the CM command file into the line editor.

7/23/76 -- ME
DM lines are now displays with full display capabilities.  HELP DMKEY works.
DD screen no longer redraw on RESET/DPYCLR unless necessary.
DM line becomes "available" 5 seconds after logout.
DM high-speed phone line count on system wholine.
Default DM page printer parameters are 3 lines/glitch and 7 glitches/screen.

8/16/76 -- ME
ESC CALL puts you in DD channel wait queue if no channels available.
BRK CALL removes you from queue.
You get beeped when added to or removed from queue;
these beeps are not disabled by BREAK B (which disables normal beeps).
DD count on system wholine includes size of queue of waiters.

On DMs:
- - - -
User part of wholine is only output if it has changed in any respect;
however, if ESC C (or other escape command that erases whole screen) has
been typed, user part is forced to be output again.  ESC and META are
beeping no-ops if the line is not initialized.  TTY TABS command causes
terminal's tab stops to be set immediately; TTY NO TABS causes conversion
of tabs to equivalent numbers of spaces--TTY TABS is default.  When output
is being held, the line editor appears on the HOLDING message line.

8/22/76 -- ME
COPY has been modified to know about DMs.  In particular, it displays the
number of the current page of the input file in the upper right corner when
reading a file in ASCII mode, like on DD and III.  Also, the "ANDYSW" mode of
putting out ?<char> for certain non-printable characters has been flushed.

11/28/76 -- BH
The super duper all-system filename scanner in FTP has been modified so that
the filenames < and > are ignored for local purposes iff the server at the
other end is an ITS.  Otherwise they are the beginning of a TENEX user name
and a syntax error, respectively, as before.  Note that the string "> FUBAR"
will use FUBAR as the local filename, not FUB as the local extension.  Also,
in RPPN mode, any number of tokens separated by commas may appear within
square brackets, not just two as before.  This is for TOPS-10 SFDs.  This
change has been added to the MONCOM source file.
