This toggles the workstation between the mode you are in and normal. SELECT, PREV SCREEN and NEXT SCREEN act as MB1-MB3 when in this mode. In order to get back out of it hit Ctrl-F3 again. The above is a fairly common mistype of Ctrl-F2 which dismisses the operator console window. It has nothing to do with options and nothing to do with DECterm; it gets your whole workstation.
