Description
The character sets selectable with single-digit Ps2 parameters are available for both VT mode and PCTerm mode. If you select one of these character sets for use in PCTerm mode, then you can use the SCS—Select Character Set command to modify the PCTerm character set.
The PC character sets selectable with three-digit Ps2 parameters are available only in PCTerm mode or SCO console emulation. (SCO console uses PC character sets.) If you select one of these PC character sets, then the SCS command to invoke a character set is ignored.
