                             SCREEN DISPLAY MODE

    PC-TYPE+ may be run in any of three modes -

        Direct to Screen - (for truly compatible PC's)
                           information to be placed on the screen will be
                           written directly to screen memory.  This is the
                           mode in which PC-TYPE+ was sent to you as a
                           default.

                    Bios - (for less compatible PC's)
                           information to be placed on the screen will be
                           sent through the ROM BIOS for display.

                    ANSI - (for not very compatible PC's)
                           information to be placed on the screen will be
                           sent via the ANSI.SYS device driver.

                              Press the PgDn Key

                           SCREEN MODE (Continued)

    The only time you would want to change these parameters would be if
    you were going to use PC-TYPE+ on a different machine that did not
    support the way PC-TYPE+ was currently configured.

    Direct to Screen is by far the fastest of the three modes and it is
    HIGHLY recommended that you use this mode if you can.  ANSI mode is by
    far the slowest and is not recommended for performance reasons if you
    can avoid it.  However, if it's all you have, at least you can still
    use PC-TYPE+.

    Note: ANSI.SYS MUST be included in your CONFIG.SYS file when booting
    your system, or the ANSI mode will not be supported.




                              Press the PgDn Key

                              Changing the Mode

    You may start up PC-TYPE+ in a different mode by using the /ANSI,
    /DIRECT, or /BIOS parameters described in the HELP file INP_PRMS.
    Once inside PC-TYPE+ in any mode, you may go to the MODIFY DEFAULTS
    panel by pressing F8 and the F2, and move the Option Selection Bar to
    the field labelled "Screen Mode" and then press F10.  When you do
    this, you will see the following three field options:

                 Direct-to-Screen           (IBM PC or truly compatible)
                 Through-ROM-BIOS           (Nearly compatible)
                 Through ANSI.SYS           (Marginally compatible)

    The Option bar will be on your current mode.  Make the appropriate
    selection and press F10 and then save your defaults either to a file
    or to PC-TYPE+ itself.
