If you left any required specifications out of the PROTERMCAP file, you will receive an error message when you run OpenEdge. Once in the Procedure Editor, try some operations, such as insert line, delete line, insert character, delete character, and scroll up/down. Also, you should run procedures that require data entry and display messages in the message area.

To fully test the terminal:

  1. Open the Procedure Editor.
  2. Test to see that the key-functions and key-labels work.
  3. Test to see that colors are working correctly on widgets and frames.
  4. Test the output to terminal paged to test scrolling capabilities.
