active-pen-mounts

specifies the number of pens for a plotter
with multiple pens. After the specified number of pens have been used, you
are prompted to change the pens.
For devices that are not pen plotters,
PENMOUNTS= can be used to indicate the number of colors that can be displayed
at one time. In this case, PENMOUNTS= performs the same function as the MAXCOLORS
device parameter except that the value specified for MAXCOLORS includes the
background color and PENMOUNTS only refers to foreground colors. Thus, PENMOUNTS=4
implies MAXCOLORS=5.
PENMOUNTS= overrides the value of the MAXCOLORS device
parameter. You can specify MAXCOLORS= in a GOPTIONS statement as a synonym
for PENMOUNTS=.
