Method Of Display Keyword

<MethodOfDisplay N>
<mdsp N>
<mod N>


    M parameter and & switch alternative. N is still interpreted as an octal number. This sets the whole of the MDSP word, there are additional keywords that only set or reset single bits of this word (that are overridden by the use of this keyword).  If anyone really needs it here are the current bit masks and the features they control however you should really use the individual keywords in the links:
