Use +this feature if you want to work with a common standard character set +(say ISO8851-latin1) even on terminals that scatter the more unusual +characters over several national language font pages. + + Syntax: + + XC=<CHARSET-MAPPING>{,,<CHARSET-MAPPING>} + <CHARSET-MAPPING> := <DESIGNATOR><TEMPLATE>{,<MAPPING>} + <MAPPING> := <CHAR-TO-BE-MAPPED><TEMPLATE-ARG> + + The things in braces may be repeated any number of times. + + A <CHARSET-MAPPING> tells screen how to map characters in font +<DESIGNATOR> (`B': Ascii, `A': UK, `K': german, etc.) to strings. +Every <MAPPING> describes to what string a single character will be +translated. A template mechanism is used, as most of the time the codes +have a lot in common (for example strings to switch to and from another +charset). Each occurrence of `%' in <TEMPLATE> gets substituted with the +TEMPLATE-ARG specified together with the character. If your strings are +not similar at all, then use `%' as a template and place the full +string in <TEMPLATE-ARG>. A quoting mechanism was added to make it +possible to use a real `%'. The `\' character quotes the special +characters `\', `%', and `,'. + + Here is an example: + + termcap hp700 'XC=B\E(K%\E(B,\304[,\326\\\\,\334]' + + This tells `screen', how to translate ISOlatin1 (charset `B') upper +case umlaut characters on a `hp700' terminal that has a german charset. +`\304' gets translated to `\E(K[\E(B' and so on. Note that this line +gets parsed *three* times before the internal lookup table is built, +therefore a lot of quoting is needed to create a single `\'. + + Another extension was added to allow more emulation: If a mapping +translates the unquoted `%' char, it will be sent to the terminal +whenever screen switches to the corresponding <DESIGNATOR>. In this +special case the template is assumed to be just `%' because the charset +switch sequence and the character mappings normally haven't much in +common. + + This example shows one use of the extension: + termcap xterm 'XC=K%,%\E(B,[\304,\\\\\326,]\334' + + Here, a part of the german (`K') charset is emulated on an xterm. +If screen has to change to the `K' charset, `\E(B' will be sent to the +terminal, i.e. the ASCII charset is used instead. The template is just +`%', so the mapping is straightforward: `[' to `\304', `\' to `\326', +and `]' to `\334'. + + +File: screen.info, Node: Message Line, Next: Logging, Prev: Termcap, Up: Top + +The Message Line +**************** + + `screen' displays informational messages and other diagnostics in a +"message line" at the bottom of the screen.
