	This collection of software adds two features to DEC's FMS-11
	forms software (versions 2.0 and 2.1), namely, run-time video 
	attribute control and read-with-timeout for single character 
	option fields.

	Files in this distribution:

		FDVTIO.SLP  --  code modifications to be applied to
				the FDVTIO.MAC source distributed with
				the form driver package.  Use SLP to
				apply these changes.

		FMVID.MAC   --  routine to modify video attributes	

		FRVID.MAC   --  routine to retrieve video attributes	

		FSTMO.MAC   --  routine to set the timeout period

		FSDEFC.MAC  --  routine to set default input character
				for response after timeout

		DECUS.TEX   --  draft version of paper submitted to
				the Fall '87 DECUS Proceedings in
				LaTeX format



	A sample FORTRAN code sequence for these routines:

	call fmvid (impure, 'FIELDA', 12)	! set video attribute of field
						!   FIELDA to bold & blinking
	call fsdefc ('1')			! set default character to '1'
	call fstmo  (10)			! set time out to 10 sec
	call fget (Iopt, term, 'DSPOPT')	! read option field

c .. Waiting for response or timeout.  When we fall through, test value.

	if (Iopt .eq. '0')  then

c ........... code for Iopt = '0'

	else if (Iopt .eq. '1')  then

c ........... code for Iopt = '1'

	else if (Iopt .eq. '2')  then

c ........... code for Iopt = '2'
