Starting PRIMER in Text Only Mode

Starting PRIMER in Text-Only Mode.

This may be done in one of two ways:

• By adding the command line option " -d=batch " or " -d=tty " to the execution sequence that invokes PRIMER .

This is normally done only in shell scripts intended for batch running. The effect is to start PRIMER with no graphics or menu interface, and all command input and output is assumed to be via the controlling terminal. This and other dialogue arguments are discussed in more detail in Appendix L .

• By selecting device TTY on the PRIMER front device selection panel.

This will close down the graphics window and revert to terminal input and output as above.
