SWAPWAIT=<wait in milliseconds>
Example: SWAPWAIT=25
(Unix only) This statement allows you to specify something other than the default wait within the terminal driver when swapping screens or screen sizes. Currently this only affects the Wyse50 driver, and was implemented because the standard wait is a full 1 second, which is apparently necessary on some versions of the terminal but not on terminal emulators. The main downside of the extra wait occurs within PolyShell, where it delayed the repaint of the new screen when swapping sessions. To allow this to remain as flexible as possible, the default value of zero simply causes the terminal driver to use its normal wait time (which in the case of wyse50 is equivalent to SWAPWAIT=1000. So to minimize the wait, set SWAPWAIT to 1.
In order to allow this to be set on a terminal by terminal basis, SET.LIT supports a SET SWAPWAIT {#} subcommand. If the {n} value is specified, it sets the SWAPWAIT time, otherwise it displays the current setting.
