The TE_wait_text, TE_get_text, and TE_find_text functions operate by

identifying the characters in a specified portion of the screen. If a field demarcation

character is located within the specified section, you can choose to identify the

character either as a space, or as an ASCII character. You use the

TE_FIELD_CHARS system variable to specify the method of identification. You can

set TE_FIELD_CHARS to 0 or 1:

O specifies that the character in the position of the field demarcation characters is
returned as a space.

1 specifies that the character in the position of the field demarcation characters is
returned as an ascii code (ascii 0 or ascii 1).

By default, TE_FIELD_CHARS is set to 0.

You retrieve and set the value of TE_FIELD_CHARS by using the TE_getvar and

TE_setvar functions.
