It tests both display (escape sequence handling) and keyboard. The program is menu-driven and contains full on-line operating instruc- tions. • To run a given menu-item, you must enter its number. • Menu items start at zero; this is the "Exit" item in almost all cases. • You can run all menu-items (for a given level) by entering an as- terisk, i.e, "*'. • You can force a repaint of the menu items by entering "?". • A few menus can be more than one page. Use "n" and "p" to switch to the next or previous page. OPTIONS You can specify the screen geometry in the form [24x80.132], i.e., • 24 lines, • 80 minimum columns, and • 132 maximum columns. If your terminal does not switch between 80 and 132 columns you may specify 24x80.80, for example, to avoid a misleading display. Other options are: -V print the program version, and exit. -f fontfile specify a file containing a DRCS (soft character definition) string. -l log test results to vttest.log. -p use padding, e.g., for a VT100 connected to a high-speed line. -q show only the most recent part of a continuous response, e.g., any-event mouse tests, to improve readability of the test. -s add time-delay in selected panning/scrolling options to show de- tails. -8 use 8-bit controls (this can be changed with a menu option).
