(edited 9-Jul-91) (Using the RT--11 Monitors\MON_PART) (<reference>(mon_part)\<reference>(mon_part\text)) <abstract> <p> <reference>(mon_part) describes how to use the RT--11 monitors. It is divided into four chapters. <list>(unnumbered) <le> <reference>(int_fb_chap\full), describes the unmapped FB monitor. Chapter <reference>(int_fb_chap\value) also describes in some detail the foreground and background environments that are used with FB and the mapped monitors. <le> <reference>(int_xm_chap\full), describes the hardware requirements for running mapped monitors and how to determine if your processor meets those requirements. It also describes the advantages of mapped monitors and provides a short discussion of the three program environments available to you when you use mapped monitors. <le> <reference>(int_sysjob_chap\full), describes and demonstrates the powerful system job feature. Of the distributed RT--11 monitors, only XM and ZM let you use the system job feature. <reference>(int_sysjob_chap) presents complete information and exercises for running, stopping, and unloading system jobs. It describes moving between the background environment and system job environment and from system job to system job. <le> <reference>(int_startup_chap\full), describes how you can use a start-up command file to configure your system. Information is presented to help you set up devices in your system to perform in the manner you want. The chapter illustrates the start-up command files for mapped monitors, but the discussion is useful for setting-up start-up command files for unmapped monitors as well. <ENDLIST> <endabstract> <endpart_page>
