 7 Function:
 8 Enters the MOWSE environment.  Sends a message to the PC requesting
 9 that it enter the complete MOWSE environment (i.e.  accept MOWSE
10 messages).  On Multics, moves the attachment of the specified switch
11 to a mowse_i/o switch.  Attaches the first switch via mowse_i/o to
12 the second.

15 Control arguments:
16 -debug {path}
17    Enables packet recording.  Writes all incoming and outgoing packets
18    to the specified file, defaults to [wd]>debug.mowse_io_
19 -no_debug
20    Disables packet recording.  (DEFAULT)
21 -trace {path}
22    Enables tracing of Multics application messages by writing them to a
23    Multics segment. (DEFAULT -- trace.mowse_io_)
24 -no_trace
25    Disables tracing of Multics application messages. (DEFAULT)
26 
27 
28 -force, -fc
29    Forces the mowse_i/o attachment irregardless of terminal type.
30 -no_force, -nfc
31    Does not force the mowse_i/o attachment thus requiring the terminal
32    type setting "MOWSE".   (DEFAULT)
33 -io_switch {switchname}, -iosw {switchname}
34    Specifies the switch for the MOWSE environment.  (DEFAULT -- tty_
35    -login_channel)
36 
37 
38 -start_up {entryname}, -su {entryname}
39    Specifies which capabilities (if any) are to be loaded at the
40    initialization of MOWSE on Multics.
41 -no_start_up, -nsu
42    Does not allow start_up. (DEFAULT)
43 
44 
45 -escape N, -esc N
46    Specifies that the N character (given as an octal value) is to be
47    escaped when transmitted to the PC.
48 -network, -net
49    Specifies that a network has been used in order to connect to
50    Multics.  This forces end of packet (EOP) characters to be
51    altered such that Multics sees transmits the EOP as a <CR>
52    and receives the EOP as a <LF>.  This argument must be used
53    ONLY if the MOWSE /N control_arg has been used to invoke
54    MOWSE on the PC.

57 Notes:
58 The MOWSE environment provides a special connection between a
59 Multics process and a Personal Computer.  To enter the MOWSE
60 environment on Multics, the corresponding environment must have
61 been previously entered on the PC.  To establish the MOWSE
62 environment, the user must:
63 
64    1. First enter the MOWSE environment on the PC
65    2. Connect to Multics.
66    3. Invoke MOWSE on Multics. (atm)
