PC3 Mnemonics

ATTRIBUTES

Many MNEMONICS causes the setting of attributes and modes that affect subsequent I/O to the PC3 driver. These attributes and modes fall into 3 catagories:
Global - affects all channels and all windows.
Channel - affects the current channel. OPEN(1)FID(0) would give you another set of these attributes for channel 1.
Window - affects the current Window only. Note that when a window is created the value of the current windows attributes are use to initialize the new window.

Global MNEMONIC's

@(col) - Position Cursor
@(col,row)

The single @ position use a space character to move the to right and a non-destructuve backspace to move left. If the cursor is being move off the SCREEN it appears on the right or bottom of the SCREEN.
NOTE:
All positioning is relative to the SCROLL area.

ATTR - Set Atributes

Allows setting the Forgound,Reverse Video,Underline,Blink and Graphic Attributes.
PRINT 'ATTR'(X$) - where the HTA(X$(1,1)) is:
$01$ - Forground
$02$ - Reverse Video
$04$ - Underline
$08$ - Blink
$20$ - Graphic

'BACKGR' Background Color

The Next Color attribute will apply to the Background.

'BB' and 'EB' - Begin/End Blink
'FS' and 'FT' - Flash Start/Flash Terminate

The PC3 driver does not support a Blink. However you can assign a color (on a per window basis) vai:
PRINT 'BB'(R,G,B) - WHERE R,G,B represent 0->255 for the color intensity of Red,Green,Blue.

'BC' - Back Cursor

Non-Destuctive Move Left of the Cursor.

'BE' and 'EE' - Begin/End Echo

Sets/Resets the echo attribute. If the echo attribute is reset characters input from the keyboard are not echoed.

'BG' and 'EG' - Begin/End Error 29

Once the 'EG' is output no ERROR 29's will be generated for invalid MNEMONICS. The 'BG' restores the generation of ERROR 29's

'BI' and 'EI' - Begin/End Input Transparency

Once the 'BI' is output character codes are not anded against $7F$.

'BLACK' - Black

Next Character is printed in black.

'BLUE' - Blue

Next Character is printed in blue.

'BO' and 'EO' - Begin/End Output Transparency

Once a 'BO' has been output no MNEMONICS are detected except the 'EO' MNEMONIC.

'BOX' - Draw a Box

PRINT 'BOX'(col,row,cols,rows{,titlestr{,attribstr}}) - will draw a box at Column col and Row row of size cols*rows. If the title string is specified it will appear on the top line of the box. If the attribute string (MNEMONIC) is present it will be applied before printing the box.
EXAMPLE:
PRINT 'BOX'(10,5,40,10,"HELLO",'RED')

'BR' and 'ER' - Begin/End Reverse Video

Once a 'BR' cahracters are displayed in reverse mode.

'BS' - Back Space

Destuctive Move Left of the Cursor.

'BU' and 'EU' - Begin/End Character Underline
'US' and 'UT' - Underline Start/Terminate

Instead of underline you can assign a color (on a per window basis) vai:
PRINT 'BU'(R,G,B) - WHERE R,G,B represent 0->255 for the color intensity of Red,Green,Blue.

'CE' - Clear End of Screen

Clears all characters from the cursor to the end of the scroll area.

'CF' - Clear Foreground

Clears all foreground characters.

'CH' - Cursor Home

Moves the cursor to position 0,0 of the Scroll Area.

'CI' - Clear Input

Empties the input buffer (type ahead).

'CL' - Clear Line

Clears all characters from the cursor to the end of the line.

'CON' - Connection Change

PRINT 'CON'(c,d$), - changes connection to connection # c and places d$ in the input buffer.
PRINT 'CON', - is equivalent to PRINT 'CON'(-1,""),
The 'CON' mnemonic changes which connection has control of the Screen(PC3 Driver). The windows PC is always connections # -1 and other connection #'s come from the connections # of a successful CONNECT command.

Normal CONNECT - CON usages

BASIC CONNECTION
In its simplest usage CONNECT - CON uses SM32.EXE under windows is used like a terminal emulator. In this case the windows startup program would contain:
1000 CONNECT 0,2,C$,D$; REM MAKE CONNECTION
1010 PRINT (0,ERR=.+1)'CON'(0,""),REM CONNECT SCREEN TO LINUX SERVER
1020 BYE
In this simple sceenario windows sm32 connects to linux, gives its screen to linux sm32 and then windows sm32 exits (bye) when linux sm32 ends.

HANDLING Remote Procedure Calls
Once linux sm32 is running and has control of the Screen it can execute a call under windows sm32 on the the PC using the RCALL command. The linux box must set the Remote Procedure Call Mode to 1 via the RPM function. This is a co-operative interface and the program running under windows does an LCALL in response to the RCALL. The Sequence is as follows:

windows sm32
1000 CONNECT 0,2,C$,D$;
1010 PRINT 'CON'(0,""),
the 'CON' will pend windows sm32 until it regains the Screen
linux sm32
2000 a=RPM(0,ind=1); rem make sure rpc mode enable
2010 RCALL "MYWINPROG",W$,"HELLO"
the rcall commands packages up the program name and variables into a single variable and the DOES equaivalent of:
print 'con'(-1,tmp$), this pends linux sm32 in the middle of the RCALL
windows sm32
1030 print 'EE','BI',
1040 READRECORD(0,siz=-50000,tim=0)A$
1050 if A$(1,1)<>"R" escape; REM this is not an RCALL ???
1060 LCALL A$
REM the LCALL knows how to unpackage the RCALL string and do a CALL
1070 PRINT 'CON'(0,A$),
this pends windows sm32
linux sm32
the pended RCALL command continues with the equivalent of:
readrecord(0,siz=-50000,tim=0)tmp$
the RCALL command retrieves any VALUE/RESULT variables from tmp$ (W$ above). The linux program continues its execution.

Custom CONNECT - CON usages

The programmer is free to define some kind of custom communication. Consider the following:
windows sm32
1000 CONNECT 0,2,"box1.mydom.com:5001",D$; REM connection to box1
1000 CONNECT 1,2,"box2.mydom.com:5001",D$; REM connection to box2
1010 PRINT 'CON'(0,""),; REM let box1 have control
linux sm32 on box1
2000 PRINT 'CON'(1,""),; REM let box2 have control
linux sm32 on box2
3000 PRINT 'CON'(0,"0HELLO box1"),; REM SEND MESSAGE TO box1
linux sm32 on box1
2010 PRINT 'EE','BI',
2020 READRECORD(0,SIZ=-50000,TIM=0)A$
2030 IF A$(1,1) <> "0" ESCAPE; REM ALL MY MESSAGES START WITH 0
2040 A$=A$(2)
2050 IF A$<>"HELLO box1" ESCAPE; REM EXPECTING HELLO FROM box2
2060 PRINT 'CON'(0,"1HELLO box2"),; REM SEND MESSAGE TO box2
linux sm32 on box2
3010 PRINT 'EE','BI',
3020 READRECORD(0,SIZ=-50000,TIM=0)A$
3030 IF A$(1,1) <> "1" ESCAPE; REM ALL MY MESSAGES START WITH 1
3040 A$=A$(2)
3050 IF A$<>"HELLO box2" ESCAPE; REM EXPECTING HELLO FROM box1
NOTE:
It is recommended that custom interfaces avoid 'R' as the 1st character of their 'CON' strings so that the RCALL can be implimented as part of the custom interface. Also in a setup like the Custom above where you have 3 computers you can use the 'SRPC' mnemonic set which computer receives control when an RCALL is executed. The 'SRPC' mnemonic can also be used to swap the master/slave relation on Normal connection. That is linux sm32 sets it self up as an RPC server does a 'SRPC'(0) to make it the receiver of RCALLS and does a PRINT 'CON'(-1,"") to return control to windows sm32. Now RCALL's executed under windows will run under linux.

PRINT 'SB'(r,g,b) where r,g,b 0->255 for each or the RGB colors. This version set the color to be used for displaying characters that are in background. Note 'SB'(x) and 'SB'(r,g,b) do not set background mode.
PRINT 'SB' - sets background mode. All subsequent characters will be displayed in lower intensity (or the color selected by 'SB'(r,g,b).
PRINT 'SF' - sets foreground mode. All subsequent characters will be displayed in high intensity also called foreground.
Background characters are protected by the 'PS' and 'CF' from being cleared.

The 3rd string is the start dir for the program.
The 4th parameter is the Priority (1=high,0=normal,-1=low).
The 5th parameter is window size(1=maximize, 0=default , -1 - minimize).
If you had the Manual tree for the manual you are now reading in C:\Manual then a more usefull example would be:
PRINT 'SYSMENU'("Manual","C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IExplore.exe C:\Manual\sm32.html","",0,0)
Then you could bring up this manual from the System Menu of your sm32 screen.
NOTE:
There is no way to remove an entry. It is expected that in your startup program you might add a couple of entries of programs you want easy access to.

'TR' - Terminal Read

Places all the characters in the scroll area into the input buffer and adds a CR.

'UP' - Cursor UP

Move the cursor to the line above. If on line 0 move to the last line of the Scroll area.

'VT' - Vertical Tab

Move the cursor to the line above. If on line 0 move to the last line of the Scroll area.

'WHITE' - White

Next Character is printed in White.

'WINDOW' - Create a New Window

PRINT 'WINDOW'(col,row,cols,rows{,titlestr{,attribstr{,namestr}}}) - will create a new window at Column col and Row row of size cols*rows. If the title string is specified and is <> "" a BOX (see 'BOX') will be drawn at Column col and Row row of size cols*rows and the title will appear on the top line of the box. If the attribute string (MNEMONIC) is present and <> "" it will be applied before printing the box. If the namestr is present the NAME (see 'GOTO' and 'DROP') will be associated with the window. A scroll area (see 'SCROLL') will be established either inside the Box if there was a title or the entire window.
EXAMPLE:
PRINT 'WINDOW'(10,5,40,10,"HELLO",'RED',"HELLOWINDOW")

The 'WINDOW' mnemonic can also be used to get a list of active windows.
EXAMPLE:
10 PRINT 'EE','CI',WINDOW'("LIST"),
20 READRECORD(0,SIZ=1)A$;REM GET # OF WINDOWS
30 READRECORD(0,SIZ=ASC(A$))L$
40 PRINT 'BE'
ASC of each character in L$ will be the window number of an active window. The order is from the current window down to window 0. The same order windows would appear if you kept 'POP'ing the current window down to window 0.
