Set Limits[ option value ] …

Sys OFF

Run OFF

Colonreq OFF

Hold n

Proc x

(Initially: Sys ON, Run ON, Colon OFF, Hold 10, Proc 4)

This command allows the system manager to place restrictions on what commands are available within Qedit. If Run is OFF, the user cannot use :Run, :Compile, :Segmenter, or any other command that requires creating a process.

If Sys is Off, in addition to restricting :Run commands as above, the user cannot execute any system command such as :Showjob, Qedit icon razz Limits urge, or Qedit icon biggrin Limits estroy. It also prevents Qedit for Windows users from accessing host commands. These are one-way options — once disabled, they cannot be enabled again by the user.

Qedit normally accepts system commands with or without a colon prefix. To require a colon for system commands, use Set Limits Colonreq ON.

Set Limit Hold restricts the number of Hold processes that a user can have. A process may be held when you :Run it within Qedit and instead of terminating, the process suspends. Examples of programs that suspend are MPEX, Spook, Suprtool, and Equater. The Hold limit can be set to any value between 0 and 10.

Set Limit Proc restricts the number of “procedures” that a user can have concurrently loaded (see the Proc command). The Proc limit can be set to any value between 0 and 4.
