Customization - profile and macros

You can use a profile, written in the REXX programming language, to redefine display colors, PF key functions, initial display format, and many other options.

A subcommand environment supports IDF macros written in REXX. The ENTER key or any of the 24 PF keys can be assigned to run a macro or an IDF command.

place data on the command line
sound the terminal's audible alarm
obtain the disassembled text associated with an instruction
