Screen-saving begins on AXP after a SAVE_SCREEN command has been done. (On VAX, screen-saving is begun by turning on NDC's MultiSessions.) On AXP, RTA terminals may ONLY be watched after they've done a PEEK/SAVE_SCREEN. (The command on VAX is PEEK/RT_ENABLE.) On AXP it is wise, therefore, to do a PEEK/SAVE_SCREEN ahead of time, such as from SYLOGIN.COM or LOGIN.COM, so enough time elapses before watching begins for a full screen to be saved for display when watching begins. On AXP, if screen-saving has not yet been started when watching begins, then PEEK automatically turns on the screen-saver (this does not apply to RTA terminals which must issue a PEEK/SAVE_SCREEN on AXP in order to be watched with Peek/Spy), but in this case there hasn't yet been enough time to save a full screen, so only a partial screen is initially displayed for the watcher, or even no screen at all if nothing has been sent to the terminal since screen-saving started. For VAX, terminal-logging is now begun by using PEEK/SAVE_SCREEN/LOG. Screen-saving and any terminal-logging are both turned off by the NOSAVE_SCREEN command. Terminal-logging alone is turned off with the SAVE_SCREEN/CLOSE_FILE command, without also turning off screen-saving. If a screen-saver is on without a log file, then a log file can be started using the SAVE_SCREEN/LOG[=file] command. When logging is in progress, a new log file can be started with PEEK/SAVE_SCREEN/LOG/NEW_FILE. This closes any existing log file and starts terminal-logging to a new log file.
