10 Control arguments:
11 -terminal_type ID, -ttp ID
12 sets terminal type to ID. Possible types are 1050, 2741, CORR2741, ARDS,
13 TN300, TEK4013, TEK4015, 1030, TYPEPAIRED, BITPAIRED, ASCII, TELERAY11,
14 LA36, SARA, AJ510, AJ830, AJ832. The following terminals default to the
15 correct table, if the type of the login terminal is set correctly: 1050,
16 2741, CORR2741, ARDS, TN300, TEK4013, TEK4015, TELERAY11, LA36, SARA, AJ510,
17 AJ830, AJ832. Multics terminal types that are not recognized by APL default
18 to the ASCII table. The following terminals are automatically switched into
19 and out of APL mode: TEK4013, TEK4015, TELERAY11, AJ510. A 2741 is an EBCD
20 2741. A CORR2741 is a Correspondence 2741. TYPEPAIRED is a generic
21 terminal type for all typewriter-paired APL/ASCII terminals. BITPAIRED is a

25 Notes: This command is useful when preparing exec_com or absentee input
26 scripts that contain APL characters. It "turns on" the APL translations so that
27 the proper codes will be stored in the script for use by APL.
