# NOFLDATTR

> [HTML Version](nofldattr.htm)

(Windows only) This option (short for "No Field Attributes") causes A-Shell to "throw away" screen attributes that are field oriented (such as [TCRT](terminology.htm.md#tcrt-in-terminology) functions 32,33,34,35, etc.). The motivation for this would be to avoid screen attribute chaos when running an application on a "mode" display device (such as a VGA monitor,) when the application was only written to support "field" terminals. See [FIELDEMU](fieldemu.htm.md) above for a more sophisticated way of dealing with this problem. Note that OPTIONS=NOFLDATTR is equivalent to FLDATTR = OFF.
