System option #1 determines the default terminal number for the SEND statement.

If you set option #1, the default terminal number is 255, and the message being sent is inserted into the global message queue. System option #13 also sets the default terminal number, and it overrides option #1. If option #13 is set, option #1 is ignored.

If you don’t set option #1 or #13 and you don’t specify a terminal number in a SEND statement, the default terminal number is the number of the terminal running the program. The message is inserted into the terminal’s local message queue.
