Those heavy toys have 3 blue switches, one for Normal/Test, one for 4 or 2 colours and lastly one which switch from A,a to A or vice versa.

Kees, are you perhaps refering to those 3275 or 3277 terminals? I am for once glad we don't have those terminals. It is a nightmare to carry them around and they will break these flimsy tables we now have... ;-) Groete / Greetings Elardus Engelbrecht ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain CONFIDENTIAL material.
