DialogLink 5*


*See Usage Notes

Use SET BANNERS OFF to suppress the file banners when a BEGIN command is entered with two or more files; a single generic banner displays. Use SHOW FILES if you want to see which files are being searched while SET BANNERS OFF is active. SET BANNERS ON resets to the full banner display. Note that SET BANNERS OFF does not affect the banner display in a single-file search.

SET BANNERS SHORT sets the file banner display to a single line per file. Use SET BANNERS LONG to reset the file banner display to all available information.

The system default displays file banners with all available information (SET BANNERS ON and SET BANNERS LONG).

• To suppress file banners:

?set banners off
Banner display set OFF.
?begin matbus
