Re: [foxboro] stddisp

    As usual, Alex is right.  The detail displays are found in 
/usr/fox/dd  There are subdirectories for overlays used for each block 
type as well as a full screen stddisp display file for each block type.  
I think the subdirectory is in CAPS such as /usr/fox/dd/CIN and the 
stddisp full screen display is lowercase or vice-versa.  In the 
subdirectory named CIN there is an overlay for each button such as the 
ALARM, ALARM TEXT, CONFIG, buttons you see when you look at a block 
detail for the CIN.  The buttons on the base CIN display actually call 
up half screen overlays on the bottom half of the screen.  There are 
typically nine button positions, (3 rows of 3), that call up overlays 
named CIN00, CIN01, ...through CIN09 or something similar.  I also don't 
have access to a system right now so I'm going off of memory but you can 
figure it out with the info provided.  When the stddisp call is made the 
system reads the block type of the compd:block provided and then calls 
up the base detail display for that block type such as  /usr/fox/dd/cin 
or whatever block type you are calling for.  You have to be careful 
about messing with these files because they are layered and generic and 
if you mess that up you could receive erroneous information every time 
you call a block detail using stddisp, but I have also seen 
configuration errors in the default Foxboro detail screens based on 
errors or omissions made by Foxboro on different releases.  I think that 
is what Rick G. is referring to.
