LIST seems to ignore the Tracking setting

Hello,
I am running some LISTs, and I'd like all my output in one go. I tried changing the Tracking setting as per the command reference, but "Press ENTER to continue...:" seems to appear at the same interval.
Please see an example below.
Either me or Bricscad must be misunderstanding the meaning of the Tracking setting, which is it?

: LI
SOrt/Tracking/<Select entities to list>: t
Number of command lines to track <4000>: 
SOrt/Tracking/<Select entities to list>: 
Opposite Corner: 
Entities in set: 4
SOrt/Tracking/<Select entities to list>:

  • I'm on Bricscad 18.2 if it matters.

  • The behaviour is by design I think.
    The number of lines displayed appears to be "stopped down" to the size of the textscreen Window (as toggled on and off with button). So unless you have an absolutely massive screen - a tracking Setting of 256 or 4000 would make no difference, but a smaller number eg 20 would.

    F2 button I meant

    Thanks Dan, I tried it just now and it seems to work exactly like you said.

    Guess it was me then. The original post was based on a bad understanding of the problem in the first place, (and what I am trying to achieve is quite far from what I actually asked for) so I started a new thread here: forum.bricsys.com/discussion/35661/get-all-output-from-list-without-having-to-press-enter-to-continue
    Your input would be very welcome.
