VDU ExtensionVector (27)

Use

This vector is called when VDU output has been redirected by OS_WriteC destination flag (setting bit 5).

Notes

If bit 5 of the output stream flag (see OS_Byte 3) has been set then characters which would have been sent to the display are routed to this vector instead. Characters sent to other output streams (e.g. *Spool file, printer) are unaffected.

If the C flag is set on return, then the character (unless it is the printer ignore character (see OS_Byte 6)) is sent to the VDU printer stream (if bits 2 and 6 are clear in the output stream flag). This is independent of the setting of bit 3 in the output stream flag.

The PRM is not clear as to whether this can send the byte twice if bit 3 is set (printer enabled). Confused? :-)
