Description

The SET TERMINAL TO <terminal-name> command specifies the type of terminal that is being used. This command is normally only used for testing purposes. When Recital Terminal Developer starts, it will automatically issue a SET TERMINAL TO command depending upon the contents of the environment variable/symbol, DB_TERM. This environment variable (UNIX/Linux), or symbol (OpenVMS) is defined in the system-wide configuration file.
