Ignorelf

Set Visual Ignorelf ON

(Default=Off)

Normally, when Qedit reads the screen it finds a Return and line feed at the end of each line. Qedit uses this information to divide the characters of the screen read into lines and then match them up with the lines in your file. However, some networks strip the line feed from the lines, sending only the Return. In this case, Qedit will print an error such as "Missing status line" and the qscreen dump will indicate that Returns were found without line feeds. It may be easier to reconfigure Qedit than your network: the Set Vis Ignorelf On option directs Qedit to accept screens with only a Return at the end of each line and without the line feed.

Qedit enables the Ignorelf option whenever it is being run on the Qcterm terminal emulator.

If you are using the Minisoft 92 terminal emulator from Minisoft Inc., you should always enable the Ignorelf option.
