Value  Meaning if Set

      1  ^ (up-arrow) in search arguments is a literal ^

         (If 0, ^ in search arguments means that the next
         character should be interpreted as a control character)

      2  Disables Yank protection

         (If 0, the Y, N, and _ commands are aborted if they
         would result in data being lost)

      4  Disallow memory expansion when reading in a text page

         (If 0, memory is expanded, if needed, so that the whole
         text page fits in the text buffer)

      8  Unimplemented by TECO under OpenVMS...

     16  Leaves buffer pointer unchanged on search failures

         (If 0, search failures move the buffer pointer to the
         beginning of the text buffer)

     32  Enable immediate mode commands

     64  Only move the buffer pointer by one on iterative
         search failures

         (If 0, the buffer pointer moves by the length of
         the search string on iterative search failures)

    128  Disable scrolling's automatic text buffer display
         prior to TECO's prompt

         (If 0, the text buffer display is automatically
         updated just prior to TECO's prompt when scrolling
         is enabled)
