GSFPROMPT | NOGSFPROMPT

Details

When the GSF is processed by another program, that program can display the prompt messages. The default, NOGSFPROMPT, is compatible with Release 6.06.

Although the prompt messages appear if the graphics device is in eavesdrop mode, they do not wait for user response. If GSFPROMPT is on, the prompt messages are sent with the GSF to the device, regardless of the status of the graphics options PROMPT, GACCESS=, GSFMODE=, or GSFNAME=.
