The COMO command is much more flexible than the system version. Typing COMO ON starts up the como file to a generated como name. That is much the same. But when you type COMO OFF, mvToolbox closes the como file, and then reads the the como file, removes screen control characters, and edits the como file in VGER. This allows you to see exactly what was sent to the screen without the screen being repainted. You will see the control characters sent in their text version. For more information, type "HELP COMO" at any prompt.
D3 does not at this time support COMO processing.
